I had noticed when swapping to my snows that the shield wasn't there. It hadn't fallen off. the dealer tech simply forgot to replace it after an oil change. So I at the time of my next oil change I mention it at check-in and the rep comes over after a time with the "multi-check report" and say everything is ok but I'm missing the shield, do I want to replace it, $xx? Anyway, yaday, yada, yada, they're replacing it free but they have to order it.

Another thing they do is only use some of the screws when replacing it. The shield started dragging one time & I had to crawl under the car to fix it. The techs hadn't replace the forward screws but rather just tucked the front of the shield over the lip of the edge where it would normally be screwed. Faster to remove, I guess. Problem is a little pressure from a snow drift or something will push it back enough to slip off the lip and start to drag.
