1966 CHEVROLET IMPALA -- There is a possibility that a separated motor mount may allow the engine to lift, which may affect the throttle linkage, momentarily increasing throttle, possibly to full throttle.

Unexpected loss of throttle control may cause loss ofvehicle control and an accident.

Inspect engine mounts and install restraints which will limit engine lift and eliminate possible secondary effects to the throttle linkage due to engine mount separation. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #71V235000 »
