Overview

This active grille shutter assembly combines the shutter vanes, frame, and motor into one bolt-on unit for Ford Escape 2013-2016 models.

Good To Know

Q: Does the motor come with the assembly? A: Yes, the shutter vanes, frame, and motor ship as one complete unit. Confirm the CJ5Z8475A reference matches your Escape before ordering.

Q: Will this clear the active grille fault code? A: A correctly installed replacement restores shutter operation and typically clears the related code. A scan tool reset may be needed after installation on some models.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
