Fan Controller Recall
For those who haven't received their letter on the fan controller recall here it is. You may want to get your local dealership to order you one when you bring it in for your next service.

If they do its a crapy dealership, my delaership never harasses me for my mods. I had the ECU reflash and fan controller replaced. Your right about the models. All Lancer models, and outlanders are affected by this recall. The orginal had tendencies to melt, chance of a fire.

There is a module mounted to the fan shroud, just to the left of the turbo, that controls the fan's speed. My understanding is that the module has unreliable internal electrical connections that can fail over time, thus allowing the engine to overheat.
