I just got my 2012 today and I noticed that as well. I BELIEVE its an oxygen sensor or maybe a temperature sensor but mine looks the same... just hanging out there in the breeze.

That is the sensor for the temp that shows up on your radio display

It really isn't that noticable. If you block it with something like an oil cooler the ambient temp read out on radio display will be off. Nice to know if its cold or hot outside.

That's the ambient air temperature sensor. I would assume your dashboard somewhere displays the outside temperature? That is the sensor.
