Campaign - Cooling Fan Bracket Torque
Engine Cooling Fan Bracket Fastener - Inspect/Retorque
# 04108 - (Mar 17, 2005)
Models:
2004-05 Cadillac SRX
2005 Cadillac STS
Equipped with 4.6L (RPO LH2 - VIN A) V8 Engine and Trailering or Heavy Duty Cooling System (RPO V92, V03 or V09)
THIS PROGRAM IS TN EFFECT UNTIL MARCH 31, 2006.
Condition
Certain 2004-05 Cadillac SRX and 2005 Cadillac STS model vehicles, equipped with a 4.6L (RPO LH2 - VIN A) V8 engine and a trailering or heavy
duty cooling option (RPOs V92, V03, or V09), may have a condition in which the lower passenger side fastener on the heavy duty engine cooling fan
(spider) bracket may lose torque and clamp load, allowing the bracket to fail and causing the fan to contact other engine components. A spot face
machined area on this lower engine cooling fan bracket leg does not allow for a solid joint at the radiator outlet hose to bracket interface.
Important:
This program will expire on March 31, 2006.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect the torque load of the lower passenger side engine cooling fan bracket fastener bolt. If the bolt is found to still retain torque, a
washer will be inserted in the spot face area under the radiator outlet hose bracket and the bolt will be retorqued. If the bolt retains no torque load (0
N.m), the engine cooling fan bracket will be replaced.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2004-05 Cadillac SRX and 2005 Cadillac STS model vehicles equipped with a 4.6L (RPO LH2 - VIN A) V8 engine and a trailering
or heavy duty cooling option (RPOs V92, V03, or V09) and built within the VIN breakpoints shown.
Important:
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) prior to beginning program repairs. [Not all vehicles within
the above breakpoints may be involved.]
