This afternoon our EX developed the well known fan squealing/screech right after engine shutdown when the AC is ON. The coolant temperature is normal, but I am highly concerned that this squealing is the beginning of the end of the dual fan assembly...
My question is, do the fan squealing issues always develop into fan failure with subsequent overheating issues?
In any case I will request the dealer to replace the fan assembly solely on the squealing issue... why wait for the fan assembly to ultimately fail and cause the engine to overheat?
To me this is the logical approach.
Additionally I have a 02/21 build, so I am right within the timeframe of the radiator fan TSB
Thoughts?
