Replacement KIT-042926-28 Active Grille Shutter 2-Piece Kit with Radiator Shutter 1.3L

The Replacement KIT-042926-28 is a 2-piece active grille shutter kit designed for the 1.3L engine, serving as a direct OEM replacement for part numbers 60007021 and 42771761. This radiator shutter assembly restores the vehicle's active aerodynamics system to proper operation.

The active grille shutter system is a key component of the engine's thermal and aerodynamic management. By automatically controlling airflow through the front grille to the radiator, it allows the Engine Control Module (ECM) to balance two competing demands: engine cooling and fuel efficiency. At highway speeds, the shutters close to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve fuel economy. In stop-and-go traffic or when the air conditioning is active, the shutters open to allow maximum airflow and prevent overheating.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement for OEM part numbers 60007021 and 42771761 (also cross-references GM1206135)
• 2-piece kit includes radiator shutter assembly
• Designed for 1.3L engine applications
• Integrated actuator motor controls shutter position in response to ECM commands
