Thank you for the info. The info on the board would seem to indicate that this failure is happening with the older 9-5s, which led me to believe that either the flap resistance increases due to binding, or that the actuator rod becomes brittle, or perhaps a combination of both. If the flap has hinges, they could begin to bind over time, increasing the amount of force needed to move the flap.
Being a curious fool, I'm going to see if I can perhaps "grease the skids" on this mechanism. Sympathize with folks who had this failure, I think as a car ages you hope to avoid major repair costs, but should they occur you expect it to be in something like a turbo or engine drive train component.
