"New & Improved" 2023 Underbody Splash Guard Installed on 2022 Hybrid

[GPSMan]

Got the "new and improved" underbody splash guard on my 2022 hybrid today. Got it "on the house" from my dealership but they only cost $51 and are also used on Escapes.

Think we need more details. What does this fix? Is it only for Hybrids?

2023 and beyond should come with this. 2022's had a solid panel that "could trap oil and gasoline fumes"...
So dealers had to hand cut vent holes... sometimes sloppily.

I was hoping this was re-done underbody felts. Oh well, good to know.

FX4 package was worth it for that alone. Recovery hooks are also nice. (Oh sorry, didn't realize this was in the 2.5L sub-forum)

This is the Same shield as factory installed on my 23 Hybrid (8/10/23 build).

So is the only difference the holes?

 

[davedogg]

I imagine at this price that it's felt. Or is it metal?

I never called it a "fix".
I only called it an "improvement".
