When I purchased mine the owner told me about this issue, not a problem with fan just what happens when your drive on unpaved roads. He was anal, so we got down and he had cardboard made that would fit under the radiator/fan and bungee cords, he showed me how to hook it up, but he cautioned not to leave it on, but it stopped the dust.
He was a perfectionist, I kept it for 4 years and just threw it away, I don't get on many unpaved roads.
