Consumer Description

MY RADIATOR FAN CONSTANTLY RUNS INTERMITTENTLY BUT WITH INCREASING LENGTHS OF TIME, REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER (HOT, COLD.) THE ENGINE DOES NOT OVERHEAT. BUT THE LIGHTS DIM AT NIGHT WHEN THE FAN KICKS IN AND CREATES A LOUD HUMMING SOUND THAT IS BECOMING MORE IRRITATING. I READ ON THE WEB THAT MANY EARLIER MODELS OF THE MAZDA HAD A RECALL FOR THE FAN CONTROL MODULE UP TO 2003. MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE RECALL, BUT I NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE WEB HAVE MODELS AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD AND WE ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED MODULES. (SP-60 I THINK IS THE RECALL NOTICE.) I'M NOT SURE I AM CONTACTING THE RIGHT OFFICE, BUT HOW DO YOU GET THIS ON THE RECALL PROGRAM OR DETERMINE THAT THE FAULTY MODULES AREN'T CREATING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MODELS MADE AFTER THE RECALLED VERSIONS? CAN YOU HELP? *KB
