Consumer Description

TWO ENGINE MOUNT BOLTS SHEARED OFF. NOTICED DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF EIGHT BOLTS HOLDING THE ENGINE, FOUR ON EACH SIDE. BASED ON RESEARCH, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SERIES AND MODEL AND APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT AND DESIGN FLAW. THERE IS A CHANCE THE OTHER 6 BOLTS COULD SHEAR IF NOT REPLACED WITH STRONGER BOLTS. A MECHANIC REPLACED THE TWO BOLTS AND ADVISED WE SHOULD REPLACE THE OTHER SIX.
