LX6Z-8472-E Active Grille Shutter Assembly for FORD Maverick 2022-present

LX6Z-8472-E Active Grille Shutter Assembly Product Overview

LX6Z-8472-E is listed as a active grille shutter assembly for FORD Maverick 2022-present. It supports the intended balance between cooling airflow and reduced open-grille drag. Coordinates the radiator inlet path behind the exterior grille area so cooling demand and closed-grille operation can be balanced.

Active Airflow Function

Regulates the airflow window ahead of the radiator at the recorded front-end position while preserving the intended radiator clearance. Coordinates the active vane assembly behind the exterior grille area to support an orderly exterior repair. Channels the airflow window ahead of the radiator within the vehicle’s original bumper package so the front air path is not left permanently open. The recorded installation point for FD02013-005 is the front radiator air inlet.

OE and Vehicle Fitment

Compare the rear support ribs from the rear mounting face before reusable hardware is transferred. Measure the rear support ribs from the rear mounting face before the part enters installation work. Measure the complete OE label using the retained original sample before the part enters installation work. Treat LX6Z-8472-E as the primary purchasing identity and use the production date when applications overlap.

Installation and Handling

Align the transferred fasteners during removal and trial fitting to prevent connector or wiring damage. Disconnect the vane pivots without forcing the plastic frame to reduce the risk of cracked tabs. Disconnect the vehicle-side connector before the front fascia is closed to reduce the risk of cracked tabs. After mounting, follow the vehicle’s service procedure for connector and shutter-operation checks.
