Front Air flapper gone?!

[Kamuelaflyer]

Look closer at the pic. I see a hose, the front fascia is wet, looks like he just washed the car and you are seeing the reflection of water on the driveway...
?

Offhand, I'd say he was washing the car and that's how he discovered the missing tooth.

I agree - that sounds like the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth, so help me Sky Daddy.

That's definitely the tooth!

Yeah just a reflection. Would be kinda stupid of me to say there was no collision with such a big scuff

It should be covered. I had the little cover for the camera sprayer on the front go missing. They replaced it without any problem. I suspect the same.

How do you activate the camera washer?

It’s the same mechanism as the windshield washer.

Very possible. Could just be a trick of light.

Well the OP said "no damage" so it's not trick of light. It's just a reflection...

Yeah - that's the reflection of the soap suds in the driveway

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Update: went to the dealer and they wanted to keep the car until the item will be in stock. I said "Oh helll no". So about 4 days later they called and said that the item arrived. It should have been a 1 day job bit instead ending being an overnight one. Not sure if they replaced the whole air shutter mechanism or not but now the missing tooth is back. No one updated the paak recall nor bothered to wash the car.

Oh well at least the warranty covered it so cost was 0+ lyft money to get home

I am glad to hear they took care of you. Thanks for sharing your story. The exact same thing happened to me yesterday. I noticed the same issue while washing my car yesterday. I only have 1000 miles on her and am anxious to take her into the dealer tomorrow to hopefully get it repaired.

 

[Snowbolster]

Yeah, tell them it's a "known issue" haha

Just noticed that I have the same issue. A flap is missing. Anyone find replacement parts that don’t require the full front bumper?
