What's wrong?
The radiator cooling fan on 2011-2012 Spartan Mm motorhomes helps pull air through the radiator so the engine coolant can shed heat. These motorhomes are equipped with Cummins ISC engines, and the fan is part of the engine cooling system. Under normal operation, the fan speed stays within a range the blades are designed to handle.
In recall 13V467, the problem is that the radiator cooling fan spins excessively fast. That extra speed puts more force on the fan blades than intended. When the blades are overstressed, they break instead of continuing to move air through the radiator.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall summary says the fan blades break without warning, so the first sign can be the blade break itself.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2011 and 2012 model years, with the fan identified as the shared engine cooling component.
