Fix is pretty simple - just loosen the coolant hose and rotate/move it away from fan shroud. Make sure you look at the area in the attached picture to see if the coolant hose is showing a wear spot. Eventually, the hose ruptures and you could be anywhere when this happens. And this hose isn't just laying around at any of the local parts stores!
