The fan blades can become detached from the motor drive flange. The central area of the plastic fan can get quite hot and eventually it may embrittle. The bayonet lugs that lock it into the drive flange sometimes break off. This can cause the blades to fall off. It would be unusual for a diesel to suffer this because the fan gets rather less use - unless the aircon's on all the time.
