A baffle assembly for directing air to a charge air cooler disposed within an engine compartment and mounted above a radiator module and behind a hood latch support bracket extending between an upper and lower structure of the vehicle frame. The baffle assembly includes a lower baffle for directing air upwardly towards the charge air cooler and an upper baffle for directing air downwardly towards the charge air cooler. An air diverter extends from either the lower or upper baffle for positioning behind the hood latch support bracket to reduce turbulence behind the hood latch support bracket and more uniformly distribute airflow to the charge air cooler. In other words, the air diverter reduces the recirculation region and turbulence by diverting the airflow behind the hood latch support bracket smoothly with minimum air flow losses and improves the mass flow rate through the charge air cooler, therefore significantly improving efficiency.
