I ran over a deer carcass at night going about 70 MPH in my brand new 2017 CX-9. I think I hit the neck area. I pulled over and there was no damage to the front of the car but the under body cladding/shroud under the the car (appears to be some sort of fiber board and is about 5 ft long) is scraped and torn. There is no vibration, no pulling, but there is an occasional noise that sounds like loose trim in the wheel well or a bushing groan. I pulled off the tire and there is no sign of damage or anything obviously out of position or loose.

I am traveling and wont be able to get to a dealer for another 1200 miles or so. Any thoughts out there as to what additional items I could check or advise the dealer once I get there. With regards to the under body cladding/shroud, I think it is just there to smooth out the air under the car to improve efficiency so I am not overly concerned except what the replacement expense will be. If over my deductible I could always make an insurance claim.

Thanks for any comments or suggestions
