Default stock fan not waterproof?

i just read on another forum about a jjk owner having issues with the stock fan not being water proof and causing him issues after water crossings and even just washing it is this something anyone else here has experienced?

We highly recommend putting a bypass switch on it to turn it off during water crossings. Electric fans are notorious for not liking being run under water or in mud.
