If you check the fan operation you'll find that the recall installed a controller and if the engine reaches a certain temp the fans will come on until it drops below that point. This was done to help eliminate some of the engine compartment fires.

Just curious if the fan selector switch was set to 4 or the ac switch to on ? As I've found my fans will come on with both in this configuration and the key switch on if I reconnect the battery.
