What is wrong
Nissens is recalling certain aftermarket engine cooling radiator fans, model numbers 85010 and 85077. These engine cooling radiator fans were sold as replacement fans for use on various Mercedes S, CL, CLS and E Class vehicles, for model years 2000 through 2011. A manufacturing deformity within the electrical control unit may cause the fan to overheat and short.
What can happen
If the fan overheats and shorts, the fan or adjacent components may catch fire.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Nissens will notify their distributors and their retail customers and offer replacement original equipment cooling fans, free of charge, for both parts and labor. The safety recall began on November 30, 2012. Owners may contact Nissens at 1-800-457-6162.

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.
