• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford active grille shutter bolt, a bolt built on the HB base used to secure the active grille shutter and radiator support air deflector. Ford dealer catalogs list it under several names including Active Grille Shutter Bolt, Radiator Support Air Deflector Bolt, and Radiator Shutter Assembly Bolt, all referring to the same fastener. It clamps the grille shutter assembly or air deflector firmly to the radiator support so the component stays located and the shutters can open and close correctly to manage airflow. You will find it used across a range of Ford applications with 2.0L, 2.7L, and 3.5L engines, with applications spanning the mid 2010s into the mid 2020s. These are representative examples rather than a complete list, since Ford shares this hardware across applications fitted with active grille shutters. A loose, missing, or corroded bolt lets the grille shutter assembly or air deflector shift, which can cause a rattle, misaligned or binding shutters, reduced cooling airflow management, and a check-engine or shutter fault if the assembly moves out of position. Because the shutter assembly mounts to the radiator support and affects cooling airflow, the hardware must be installed correctly and torqued to the Ford specification. Confirm the correct bolt for your specific vehicle and engine against your VIN before ordering, since grille shutter hardware varies by application.
