2022 Active Air Dam Actuator removal/replacement

Blueskyguy · Oct 23, 2023

I hit a racoon with my 2022 Expedition, breaking the active air dam. I didn't realize until I removed it to replace it that the actuator that it attaches to is also broken, and will need to be removed and replaced. It has turned out to be an expensive raccoon. The air dam itself is easy to remove. Has anyone had any experience removing and replacing the actuator?

Thanks!

<deleted original post - though you meant air shutters>

Following. Does it also have an active air dam?

That would be dam cool.

I just looked on my '23 Limited. No active air dam

Your comprehensive vehicle insurance should cover the damage (minus any deductible) without giving you an “at fault” incident.

Huh. Says here that the 2022 comes with an active air dam.

I could be wrong, but I assumed Ford meant shutters when they used the term dam.

Is it just the lower half of the assembly? I assume the raccoon didn't jump up into the middle of the grill and damage the upper half assembly.
