Engine recalls for the 1978 Buick Riviera

Engine and engine cooling: fan

78V139000333,619 vehicles affected

The problem
The hub portion of the fan blade assembly could crack due to high stress levels generated during engine operating conditions. Eventually, the blade could break apart at the hub and blade pieces could be propelled into the engine. If the hood is open while the engine is running, the fragments would be free to fly from the vehicle.
The fix
Dealer will replace the fan blade assembly without charge to owner.
