2025 aviator missing underbody air deflector

[dc52169]

2025 Aviator here. Anyone else missing a passenger side underbody air deflector (cover / shield)? I noticed my vehicle has a cover on the drivers side, but the passenger side I can see straight up to the floor pan. Studs are there and doesn't look like anything was ever installed there. A weird thing to "miss" at the factory...

I think you are referring to the fuel system shield/protection. It’s only on the drivers side. The passenger side has the exhaust system and wouldn’t need that type of protection.

Welcome to the Forum.
I believe your concern has been addressed.

Factory quit putting passenger side on.

Thanks. I saw at the dealer any vehicle built after mine didn't have, and basically any before did. Hard to believe this doesn't impact underbody air flow / fuel economy, among other things. But at least I feel better that it wasn't "just me"
