VARIOUS COMPONENT FAILURE MODES, COMBINED WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FAN CLUTCH AND ITS BEARINGS, CAN CAUSE THE FAN CLUTCH BEARINGS TO FAIL PREMATURELY RESULTING IN A LOCKED FAN. IF THE FAN IS LOCKED, AND THE SYSTEM CALLS FOR THE FAN TO BE ON, THEN THE FAN CLUTCH WILL SLIP, GENERATE HEAT AND, UNLESS RELEASED, WILL IGNITE THE RADIATOR FAN AND OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CORRECTION: FAN CLUTCH DRIVE DISC WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE THAT INCORPORATES A THERMALLY ACTIVATED PRESSURE RELIEF.
