VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH HORTON FAN DRIVES. THE FAN DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEM WAS RECONFIGURED WHICH RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE DEMAND FOR FAN ACTIVATION AND ASSOCIATED STRESS TO ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL COMPONENTS. VARIOUS COMPONENT FAILURE MODELS, COMBINED WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FAN CLUTCH AND ITS BEARINGS, CAN CAUSE FAN CLUTCH BEARINGS TO FAIL PREMATURELY AND RESULT IN A LOCKED FAN.
What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
