What is wrong
Flex-A-Lite is recalling certain aftermarket electric fan kits, part numbers 274 (Dual Electric Fan Kit) and 59274 (Aluminum Radiator and Dual Electric Fan Combination Kit), manufactured February 3, 2014 to May 27, 2015. The affected electric fan kits were not supplied with a fuse holder to be installed between the fan control module and the battery. Additionally, in the event of an electrical short, the circuit breakers that were supplied with the kits may not be sensitive enough to trip before electrical damage could occur.
What can happen
Use of an electric fan kit without the additional fuse holder between the battery and fan control module or with the original circuit breaker installed may result in electrical system damage in the event of an electrical short, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Flex-A-Lite will notify owners, and will provide purchasers with a replacement kit that includes a 60 amp fuse harness to be installed between the battery and fan control module as well as a 30 amp circuit breaker to replace the existing one between the fan motors and fan control module, free of charge. The recall began on June 24, 2015. Owners may contact Flex-A-Lite customer service at 1-800-851-1510.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
