so is this affecting base model and limited model explorers.
or should I say
all other 3.5 Ti-VCT motor equipped devices regardless of trim level?
Sounds like Ford received a shipment of bad fans. If so, a 4th may not solve the issue either. Keep your fingers crossed. Did the dealer actually replace yours with one from a stock Ex?The dealership called Ford tech line and was told to find a fan from another 2016 in stock; remove it and place it in mine assuming it isn't creating the noise. Well that didn't work and it will be back at the dealership first thing Monday morning. The dealership stated they will open another ticket with Ford tech line. This is the third fan replacement and now it is going in for a forth. At this point something has to be done because this is ridiculous.

Nice looking Sport. Now you may want to update your profile.Just picked up my 2016 Sport 200 miles on the odometer and I can hear the fan squeaking after shutdown.

Just picked up my 2016 Sport 200 miles on the odometer and I can hear the fan squeaking after shutdown.
now since this weekend was oil change weekend I took a little time to poke and listen.
Irony - after getting the car up, changing the oil, refil etc etc. start car - let it run while I reset the OLM. get out - can't hear a thing different.
back out of garage, let run, open hood, no squeak or squeal. turn off, with the door open.
nothing. nothing. TO be fair I'm slightly pissed. let the car cool a bit. got my hand in there and free spin the fan.
Now you can feel the motor just a bit - IE little bit of resistance. but it spun OK as far as I'm aware. no noise.
so I'm not saying I fixed it. Ours is still OE from factory I've not taken it in and I won't take it in until there is a real issue. (since I can't hear it driving, or etc).
but yesterday - it didn't make peep one. just putting it out there.
Mine seemed to be very pronounced after a long trip (Drove about 160 miles down the interstate). I shut the car off and when I got out the fan was still spinning cooling everything down from the trip and when the fan was coming to a stop it started to squeal.
I have driven it around town for a little while and come home and shut it off before and have heard nothing.
Lovely, I'm planning 1400 mile trip from Toronto to Texas and back this March break to visit my son. Hoping this car will hold up
we did 780 to Ohio one way and 840 the return - narry an issue.
I would say if your car isn't over heating and it runs fine - it's probably fine.
If you can hear something at a stop light - you might should get it checked.
Well a good road trip while it's under warranty can't hurt either.
