INTERFERENCE OF COOLING FAN BLADES TO RADIATOR

MODELS AFFECTED: 1987 CENTURYS WITH 3.8L ENGINES (VIN CODE '3') BUILT PRIOR TO OCTOBER 6, 1986

Some of the above vehicles may have the cooling fan blades hitting or close to hitting the radiator.

This condition can be corrected by installing a spacer, P/N 3790768, between the cooling fan and radiator support at the lower R.H. mounting bolt of the cooling fan, as shown in the following Illustration.

If the radiator is leaking it will have to be replaced and then add the spacer so that the interference of fan blade to radiator does not happen again.

Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.
