Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Good news, a cooling fan running briefly after you shut the engine off is actually completely normal behavior on most modern vehicles including the Encore. The fan is designed to continue running to help cool down the engine and turbocharger after shutdown, especially if the engine was working hard or it's a warm day. It should shut off on its own within a few minutes. However if it's running for an extended period or seems to never shut off, that could point toward a faulty coolant temp sensor or a relay stuck in the on position.
