I dont think that is normal to have a gaping whole on the intake tube. Maybe its just me. Speak to the service mamager and ask him to show you on another one.

Looks like a wire tie bracket used to be there. Perfectly normal for it to break off and for unfiltered air to be sucked into your motor? Absolutely horse sh*t.




EDIT: MY bad it's the one cut off at the bottom of the picture. Looks more like a temp sensor:
