Avoiding OE-Only Fitment Errors

For catalogue verification, submit 115138, SKU KA01013-004, VIN or chassis information where available, engine code and original-unit images. A single model name should not be used as the only basis for selection.

Service Symptoms and Related Checks

If one blade is chipped or bent, do not attempt to rebalance the assembly by trimming another blade. Replace the matched component and inspect the clutch or hub for impact damage.

Cataloguing the Fan Blade

115138 transfers rotation from the fan drive to the cooling fan, moving air through the radiator when vehicle speed alone does not provide sufficient airflow. Blade profile, hub geometry and rotation direction all influence whether the assembly operates correctly.

Identification and Condition Checks

Final inspection can include dimensional spot checks, mounting-area review, label verification and protective packing. The goal is consistent identification and safe delivery rather than relying only on an external visual match.

B2B Enquiry Format

Sample approval is recommended before a large replacement program. After 115138 is confirmed, keep the approved OE/SKU and measurement sheet as the reference for repeat orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should 115138 be considered for replacement?

Inspect the fan after cracks, missing material, wobble, abnormal noise, contact marks or cooling complaints are found.

Can a new blade solve every overheating problem?

No. The radiator, thermostat, coolant circuit, shroud and fan drive must also be diagnosed.

Why is hub concentricity important?

The blade should rotate around the intended center without visible wobble, reducing vibration and clearance risk.

What should be checked after installation?

Rotate the assembly by hand, verify shroud and radiator clearance, secure the mounting and confirm there is no contact.

How is a mixed-OE enquiry prepared?

List each OE and SKU on a separate line with quantity, vehicle data and destination to avoid product-matching errors.
