Abstract
An active air dam system with a mounting bracket for mounting beneath the vehicle; a linkage having an air dam mounting portion; and an air dam. The linkage moves between stored and deployed positions. The air dam is connected by a pivotal connector and a selectively releasable connector, which cooperate to maintain a fixed relationship between the air dam and the air dam mounting portion. The connector releases its connection in response to a force exceeding a threshold, thus enabling the air dam striking an object in an active position thereof to pivot rearwardly. The system may have a biasing structure for biasing the air dam forwardly about the pivotal connector, thus enabling the air dam when striking an object in the active position thereof to pivot rearwardly and return pivoting forwardly.
