Why it was recalled
The powertrain mounting hardware may have been only hand tightened, and not torqued to the proper specification. If the hardware falls out it may lead to the engine rocking during acceleration, and pinching of the throttle cable.
Hazard
If this occurs, it can result in the throttle being stuck open and operators not being able to stop the vehicle with the brakes.
