Default 2011 rad fan

Anyone ever hear of the blade brake put a hole in radiator and take out 2 blades on the other fan? Happened to me, I have never heard of a fan braking like that

I assume you mean breaking. I don't think there is blade brake on these.

I have never experienced such a break, but it certainly isn't the first to break in the world. Are you sure something else wasn't somehow loose in there that broke both fans and the radiator?

I read another thread where someone reported this happened to them. They thought it was just old plastic that cracked or broke off. Could also have been a rock or somehting, but it's pretty tucked in the there if you have the splash shield installed. It's rare, but not unheard of.

it has all sheilds, I was driving down interstate didn't run over anything. If you look carefully at the pic of the whole fan, the one on left you can see where the blade rubbed the shrowed before it broke.
