An active front deflector assembly (10) having a deployable deflector panel (1), linkage assemblies (12,14), and an actuator (26). The system deploys and retracts based on vehicle requirements, and, when deployed, interrupts air flow thereby improving the vehicle aerodynamics, reducing emissions and improving fuel economy. The deflector panel (1) is retractable so the vehicle meets ground clearances, ramp angles, off-road requirements, etc. The deflector panel (1) is also both rigid and semi-rigid to absorb impact energy. The linkage assemblies (12,14) are coupled to the deflector panel (1) and a drive shaft (28) connected to the actuator (26). The drive shaft (28) transmits the drive from the actuator (26) coupled to one linkage assembly (12) to the other linkage assembly (12) for moving the deflector panel (1) between the deployed / retracted positions. The actuator (26) is clutched to prevent damage to the system. The active front deflector assembly (10) provides a fully deployable system with object detection, declutching of the actuator, and communication with the vehicle.
