Consumer Description

The active grille shutter system failed due to debris. There is a bulletin already that references error code P05A072 - active grille shutter stuck open. The code I got was P059F73 - active shutter grille stuck closed. Not sure why it wasn’t included in the original bulletin when the cause and part are the same. This seems to be a known problem with this vehicle that can lead to engine overheating. Bulletin referenced was T-SB-0319-17.
