First I have seen!
All stock? No accidents or front end work?

Very odd. Get some pics once apart if you can. I am very curious as to the failure mode.

Can't see any sign of blade damage or impact in the video.

Nothing is broken except the center of Blades.

I bought my FRS 2 months ago.
it's a car back 3 years.

I had air conditioning problems since day 1.

I found the non-functional fans because the engine overheated and the check engine has Alume

The dealer said it can not be guaranteed because the radiator is not part of the motor.

dealer diagnostic = 69$ + 39$ +tx
rent car = 20$ per day
repair (by dealer) = 500$ + tx

I expect a response from Toyota Canada

"Palm" est pas le bon mot. Devrait etre "blade" ou simplement "fan".

Ctrl+Shift switches your current keyboard language settings to the next one available, if you have only two, it will switch back and forth, if you have more it will go thru it like a list from top to bottom.

That's spooky ......

I'm guessing that the nut/clip/whatever that holds the fan to the motor shaft came off. But, both at the same time ..... ??

Maybe they were taken off to fix something else and never put back on proper .. ??

Please let us know what was the cause after they are taken off.

Toyota of Canada will tell you the same thing.

Radiator fans fall under bumper to bumper warranty, it's not powertrain.
