Those were recall items, original motor mounts were prone to breakage causing weired gas pedal fluctuations and accidents.
 there should be threads on this site, use search.

They were a bandaid repair due to non-interlocking motor mounts. When the mounts broke, throttle linkages could jam.
Biggest recall ever at the time.
Also caused a general design change to cable linkages.
