3 Cooling Fan problem

I complained to BMW na of reported failures of the fan. They agreed that they have had problems with siemens manufactured fans. They left a phone message (I have a copy) agreeing to pay for a vehicle inspection to determine if the fan is the type prone to failure due to safety concerns I have for my son who will be driving this vehicle, but they will charge me to replace the fan because it has not yet failed.
