Abstract

The invention relates to a sealing device (1) for a motor vehicle, designed to be arranged between a bumper of the vehicle and a controlled air intake module, in order to guide an air flow towards the module, the device (1) having a front wall (4) delimited by a front face (5), designed to be arranged opposite the bumper, and a rear face (6), designed to extend opposite the module, the front wall (4) delimiting a supply opening (7) intended to supply air to the module, the device (1) comprising at least one anti-deformation tab (11) projecting from the rear face (6) and extending towards the module, when the device (1) is mounted on the vehicle, each anti-deformation tab (11) being designed to bear against the module to limit the deflection of the front wall (4) when the vehicle (2) is in operation.
