The risk

The product poses a risk of injuries because if sudden/rapid acceleration is repeatedly performed, the No 4 engine mount bolt may loosen and fall out or break, allowing the transmission to be out of position. In extreme cases, the driveshaft may become detached. If this occurs the vehicle will immediately lose power, come to a stop and be inoperable.
