    2019 prime, but i'm thinking the under plastic parts are the same?
    I found a shank like piece of metal sticking out from this part, where it created this hole.

    What is this part? I'm hoping it is a protective piece, and not to worry. [it did its job, and might continue]

    It is on the drivers side, under the rear door, in front of the left rear wheel.

    it's dang hot out there, but it does look like there is a part number on this?

    yep, that plastic did it's job.

    Alternatively, if that piece of plastic turns out to be very expensive; I'd clean, duct tape it, then spray liberal amounts and several coatings of flex seal on it. A quick and dirty repair job to keep road debris from accumulating in there that may support rust formation.

    Hope this helps...

    I was going to suggest duct tape too, at least if and until you replace with either used or new.
    This is the best I can do so far. I'm not sure this is the part, but it's at least getting closer than nothing.

    part #'s 76974-47020-C0 or 76974-47020-C1 entering your vin might help, but there are a lot of underbody panels on my 2017 Prime and I don't see much of any of them listed while searching the 2019.

    C0 part

    and the C1 part

    I don't see a diff between the two. It'd be a good idea to get under there when weather permits and pull the part. It makes it a hundred times easier to make sure you are ordering the right replacement. And if it's easy enough getting a used one you'll be sure it's the right one.
