Re: My shields are falling off
Missing bolts from the skid plates have been a common problem, mine was missing 2 before the first oil change. Haven't heard much about it lately, maybe manufacturing procedures have been improved.
Skid plates do have to be removed to change the oil, so if you had that done somewhere they may have neglected to tighten the bolts.
Fun part of finding new ones was matching hex on existing ones. Something odd, but replacements I found had a different hex size (factory are metric threads with SAE hex - or the opposite). Didn't want to have to use two separate sockets to remove the skid plates, so I switched two bolts on the radiator support.

Re: My shields are falling off
Yeah, common.
My dealer forgot to put them all back in, twice now. They have replaced them both times, after I pointed it out to them.
I inspect them now before I leave.

Re: My shields are falling off
Lucky you, they only forgot to tighten yours. My dealer stole mine.

Re: My shields are falling off
I had a rattle underneath and found that one of the bolts had worked itself loose, conspicuously after an oil change.
Since it is hard to find the matching bolts, it doesn't hurt to put a wrench on them after any maintenance or off-road trips.

Re: My shields are falling off
Carry a small tube of Locktite with you next time and hand it to them. The dealer should know and do this and torque to specs or I would not let them work on it. They might leave out something important sometime if they are that sloppy. I would hate to have them replace the head!!

Re: My shields are falling off
I only take out 3 bolts and loosen the ds middle and front.
I always double check tightness,they havent come loose yet. 
I also check the nut clips to make sure there facing back not twisted over to the side.
