The material the blend door is made from looks to be some type of glass fiber resin reinforced plastic which seems very brittle when it breaks off from the pics I've seen. If they used a type of plastic that was more bendable, like flexible ABS perhaps, it probably would last a lot longer.

Of course, they could've designed it with two actuators on each side taking up the side loads. However, that probably would have been vetoed by the bean counters at GM as being too expensive for just a Camaro. lol!
