I think it should be a factory recall.  All those flaps are held down by the
power of a steel spring.  Which will rust soon and break when you lift the
flap.  If it was stainless steel, which would have added $1.00 to the
purchase price of the car, none would have been missing.
Since it was designed that way, you could say that all those flaps fall off
by design.
