Damaged bumper isolators due to crash, insurance co. Says they're made as a multi- crash device. Are they configured only as in a one time crash?

The motor mounts and transmission mount failed. They broke due to corrosion. Ford issued a technical service bulletin (tsb # 92m77) on this problem stating that they would fix this problem only if the mounts were to break and only up until july 31st, 1996 or 60,000 miles/6 years. Luckily the failure was caught in time, otherwise an accident and/or injury would have occurred. I think that if a defective part was installed and a definite outcome was known, there should have been a recall. All northern u.s. States that use road salt were notified of this tsb. I think a failed motor or transmission mount is definitely a serious safety risk. There shouldn't have been a just tsb giving the owner only a certain amount of time before the defective part were to fail. It is almost certain that any prolonged contact with road salt would cause failure. There is no way a motor mount should fail on that new of a car.
