You should not pull out the small side grill yourself. You'll risk the dealer questioning how the camera became missing. Bring the vehicle to the dealer as is, which should provide the best proof that the camera fell out or in. Let them investigate.
Is this a 4.0i? |

Have your dealer check it. That's my thought.
I noticed both your grills are covered from the inside which is what made me think this was a 40i. My understanding is the 50i grills are opened on both sides. I have a 40i and for me, one side is covered and the other is not. I wonder what the correct setup should be? |

The OP's sensor is definitely missing. It must have been one lucky shot (or unlucky I guess) for a rock or some other type of road debris to hit it. If the dealer won't fix it due to some type of material/installation fault, then your next bet is your insurance company if your policy has a clause that covers damage from road debris (I believe Geico has such clauses).

I would see if you can take the lower cover off and see if the sensor is dangling inside. You must be getting a warning when trying to park if it is still connected to the harness. Could be it became dislodged and needs to be snapped back in or the holding ring is broken.
Part below is what I'm guessing. |

Also I need to possibly take it for why both grills are closed. |

Mine is blocked off on one side. I tried to find the part number for lower grill with the opening and I was not able to.

Thanks. You're on the other side of the mountain from where I'm at. Good to know that there's a dealer over there though.
Are you satisfied with your dealer? Last edited by mitch57; 04-30-2020 at 07:17 PM.. |
