Hi John, I would take it to a good panel beater and obtain their expert opinion as to any possible safety issue. They may be able to repair by fill in and/or weld, they have various ways. I had a hand brake mount crack on me for a previous vehicle (Hyundai not my KV6 or 1.8 Freelander) and the panel beater simply welded it back where it came apart. I would get their expert opinion.

Flamin' 'ell.... how fast were you going in reverse???
It looks like a body shop would need to "Dozer" that out or straighten it with on a JIG.

Sorry... I have just joined the site today - hence a few months after your post!
