Just purchased a used 2021 XT6 about 8-9 months ago. Just today I noticed the fan remained on after shutting off vehicle. Any thoughts on whats causing it?

I'd guess it's the cooling system staying on for a bit to keep circulating coolant around the engine and help keep temperatures fairly even during the initial cooling off period, fairly common thing these days. Now, if the fan's staying on for a long time or not shutting off at all, that'd be worrisome.

They're electric fans and have NO part of "circulating coolant" and, as the engine cools to below 190, the thermostat shuts so that takes care of "circulation".
