Recall date April 16, 2007
Models affected
  • 2002 Kia Sportage
Units affected 4,062
Details

On certain vehicles, heat generated by the engine causes repeated bending deformation of the polypropylene cooling fan and its retaining ring, which stresses the polypropylene, initiating cracking of the blades.

The centrifugal forces generated by the rotation of the blades can cause the cracks to propagate until complete separation occurs.

Separation of the fan blade(s) can create a risk of personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will replace the engine cooling fan blade assembly.
