I have broken them plenty of times. New ones arent that expensive. I have new ones in their now, but was just welding them up when they broke.

It happens from the motor loosening up. Happened to me once.

they break cause the upper frame rails are weak. now that you broke your mount check your upper rails rivets.

that round thing that holds the gas tank has 4 rivets and some times they fail 2

All the rivets were replaced with grade 8 bolts. On that piece around the gas cap, the bottom two bolts are broke.

Check all your frame bolts and frame rails. After replacing the mounts, I found that one of the frame rails above the engine was broken also. Replaced that. Also the bolt for the upper motor mount was bent.

Does the recall have a new part or better one or wrong mount?
