Something missing?

If you look around any new car you're going to find dozens of unused holes and plugs.  It's much cheaper to make one part for all markets and versions than to try to make each one unique.  That hole could be used for an option you don't have, something on the 2.0L version of the Edge, maybe something on a Continental that uses the same bracket, maybe some part that's needed in China or Europe.

Makes total sense!

 

Thanks
