Summary of the Safety Concern:
THE FAN CLUTCH FOR THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM FAN WAS COMBINED WITH AN INAPPROPRIATE FAN, WHICH INTERFERES WITH THE DRIVE AND CAN CAUSE THE DRIVE TO SEPARATE. |
||
|
Consequence:
IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS WHILE THE ENGINE COVER IS OPEN, A PERSON WORKING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE STRUCK BY A PORTION OF THE FAN CLUTCH. IF THE FAN CLUTCH SEPARATES, THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FAN WHICH HAS A CUPPED MOUNTING PLATE WITH A FAN HAVING A STRAIGHT MOUNTING PLATE. THE FAN CLUTCH, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY INTERFERENCE WITH THE FAN, IS BEING REPLACED WITH A NEW DRIVE OF THE SAME MODEL. |
