That happened to my mother-in-law with her Toyota Tacoma. Truck had about 100k miles on it.
Fan clutch and fan separated from the shaft, chewed through the radiator, caused loss of coolant.
Unfortunately, she drove it for about 10 minutes like that listening to a book on tape.
After paying 2 grand to fix the radiator/fan assembly, they found out that she burned the rings on two cylinders.
Could happen to any brand really. Tons of stories like that.
Seriously thinking about switching my truck to two electric fans.
