While washing the misses Q this morning I noticed the cover that goes around the factory installed hitch has gone missing. Does anyone have s schematic or a part no./name so I can try and order on-line instead of at the dealership?

Thanks!

"Around" the hitch? Do you mean the square hard rubber plug that goes into the receiver? If yes, you can get these at pretty much any hitch store and in a wide variety of designs.

No, its the grey/silver plastic piece that covers the opening in the bumper valance. It attaches with four twist lock cam/thumb screws that turn 1/4 lock to lock.

Do you mean this? Mine is on a 2011 so I'm not sure if this is the same. I don't see why it shouldn't be the same.

Thats the piece tas2573. Thanks. I am going to pop rivet the new one in to prevent it from walking off again.
