This is a genuine Nissan engine cooling fan blade, designed as a direct replacement for specific Nissan Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51 models fitted with the VQ40DE petrol engine. This critical component is located at the front of the engine, bolting directly to the viscous fan hub just behind the radiator.
Its primary job is to pull air through the radiator fins to keep your engine cool, particularly at low speeds or when stationary. Constant exposure to high engine bay temperatures and rotational stress can cause the original plastic to become brittle over time. A common sign of a failing fan blade is a severe vibration from the front of the engine, which can be accompanied by visible cracks in the blades.
Replacing this fan blade is a straightforward job for an experienced DIY mechanic or any workshop. Accessing the fan hub may require removing the fan shroud first. When replacing the fan blade, it is wise to inspect the viscous fan clutch it bolts to. It's also a good time to check the condition of your drive belts and water pump for any damage that may have been caused by a failing fan. Using a non-genuine fan blade can lead to imbalances that cause catastrophic failure, potentially destroying your radiator, water pump, and other expensive engine components.
