Description of the problem | Had vehicle serviced for a cooling fan relay after vehicle displayed a p0481 trouble code. Dealer serviced and replaced fan relay. Vehicle overheated approximately 100 miles later due to a defective cooling fan. The fan melted and smoked and caused the vehicle's temperature to rise rapidly. Dealer informed me that the part was on national backorder and that 3,000 vehicles are currently waiting to be serviced with this particular part due to it's high rate of failure. Estimated repair time of 2 months. Still waiting for part to get delivered. The presence of smoke under the hood and unusually high demand for repair indicates to me that clearly this should be a recall. |
