I couldn't find any info on the Highlander crash that mentioned engine
problems. What sources are you using as supporting material?
Doesn't specifically say "engine" problems, but Avweb says:

In Walhalla, S.C., on April 2, Just Aircraft co-owner Gary Schmitt also
had problems on takeoff and was unable to make a safe landing. Schmitt
was flying a Highlander, which was just approved the week before as an
S-LSA. The aircraft was destroyed and Schmitt was seriously hurt. No
further details were available at our deadline.
