Never heard of this problem before, would assume that the bracket is tearing away from the fire wall. No room, not a nice place to have to work on. If the mounting studs on the bracket are long enough, you may be able to sandwich a 1/8" plate either side over the damaged area. This would require removal of the pedal assembly but should be the easiest way to make a strong repair. A welded repair would be nice, but you would need to remove the carpet and plastic trim and protect all the wiring in the vicinity.
