| Entire fan and clutch assembly. sheared off while i was traveling in inter city traffic, if this failure would have occurred while traveling on a highway this assembly could have damaged either the steering, fuel or electrical system. the local dealer and factory representatives have reviewed and come to the conclusion that this is just a failure due to mileage. if this is the case there potentially are many vehicles of this type that may experience the same failure. *ak | |||
