The main problem is that someone ( Ford no doubt) re designed a perfectly good fan in 2007 and left the blades exposed on the engine side , previously they were guarded by a plastic grid ...
If the hose is marked by the blades it will get replaced .

Thanks Clan,

I had the 2nd recall carried out earlier this week which did involve fitting a clamp.
