I’ll have to stop at my Ford dealer and take a peak.
Or,
Someone could tell me,
Is there supposed to be a missing louver/shutter about 2/3’rds of the way down ?

I think your fine. I remember a recall back in MY22 on the hybrids concerning a fire hazard. The initial fix from ford was for dealers to cut additional holes in the underbody shield that covers the bottom of the engines and to remove 1 or 2 louvers. This was probably expanded to ice afterwards and later builds were changed at the factory. It was a hot topic back in the day as I recall. Mine is a later MY22 EB and all the changes were already on mine from the factory (louvers and shield)

My 24 Eco has one missing in front of rad and one missing below, intercooler or condenser I believe?

Mine appears to have no missing slats, the radiator and intercooler look like they are completely covered. I am wondering how well they will operate when they are covered with slush though.
