On April 19, 2001 while traveling on rt 495 in wareham MA the fan on my L996 Dodge 1500 2 wheel drive sport pickup truck suddenly became unattached from the water pump shaft causing the fan to fly into the radiator and puncturing same.at the same time due to the loss of the belt that drives the power steering pump, and water pump causing difficult steering and engine overheating I immediately stopped in the breakdown lane. When this occurred the vehicle had 57159 miles.
