Fan running more after recall?

Ever since I got my car back from recall (just flash and plugs, no engine or cat replacement needed) the cooling fan runs much more often and longer then before after turning off the car. The surprising thing is that the weather here has been much cooler these past two weeks (high 80's low 90's) versus the weeks of 100 degree weather we had this summer.

Anyone else noticed this?

Yea my fans are running more after engine is turned off also. The outside temps are lower 80 to 75 and I dont run the A/C as much. Maybe the condenser fan on the A/C kept the engine cooler or the flash lowered the fan turn on temp?

there hasn't been any mention of this as a patch to the ECU.

It would hav ebeen nice if they had implemented RB's fan protocol.
