Well, mine must have been under the recall as well. The inline replacements that plug into the fan, then the wiring plugs into that were there.
I didn't do nearly as much to get my fan motor out. I undid the lower plastic skid plate,unhooked & removed the battery, the lower retaining bolts that hold the radiator to the front sub-frame, two bolts that hold the top portion of the fan assembly to the radiator and the wiring for all the switches (altenator, ground, motor switches & some sort or resistor thingy). Then I was able to move the bottom of the radiator enough to pull the unhooked fan assembly out from the bottom (both front wheels up off the ground at least 3 inches). It came out at an angle and went back in the reverse way. If I had to do it now it would take me 1 hour. But it was a learning experience I'll tell you that! For awhile I wasn't sure if I had gotten in over my head..
