Yes, it is horrible. It could have been even worse. Imagine leaning over the side panel observing the running engine, revving it up. That fan blade could have gone through your head. I NEVER stand in line with the fan of a running engine. You probably won't now either. You can get another side panel, fix the rest and be back on the road.
You should inspect all other safety items on the truck (steering, brakes) now that you have seen what incidents poor workmanship can create.
Good luck.
