Abstract
An active vehicle air intake shutter system for installation at first and second air intake openings on a front end of a motor vehicle that are angled relative to one another in both rearward and lateral directions. The system includes first and second intake shutter assemblies for mounting at the intake openings. A lateral shaft has first and second shaft couplings each oriented axially with respect to the shaft axis, that connect, respectively, to a first coupling of the first intake shutter assembly at an angle to define a first angled joint that transfers pivotal movement therebetween without changing the angle therebetween, and a second coupling of the second intake shutter assembly at an angle to define a second such angled joint. An actuator pivots the first and second couplings simultaneously between open and closed positions via the shaft and the first and second angled joints.
