Hey everyone,
I was coming home last night on the interstate, went to pass a tractor-trailer on the right that was going 5 under the speed limit, was driving beside him, and saw a deer (who had been hit just a minute or so before I got there) laying in the fast line. I just shut my eyes and braced myself.
The car was fine; tough evening, but I got home and noticed there was minimal front-end damage. It looks like the only real issue here (right now) is the Active Grille Shutters on one side were completely destroyed. I can't tell by the picture, but I'm also a little worried about radiator damage. I had about 25 mins left on my drive when I hit the poor guy. I kept an eye on the temp gauges, and everything was okay; everything ran and sounded fine the rest of the way.
I have a 2021 Sport Big Bend. Here's the damage. I was wondering:
1) Is it necessary to take care of the Active Grille Shutters immediately?
2) Does anyone think there is additional damage here I should be worried about that goes beyond cosmetic and could affect overall performance and routine operation?
TIA.
