Summary
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.
Risk
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.
