Abstract:
A front end module (10) has a cross member (12) that connects to longitudinal members (14) of a motor vehicle frame for carrying away loads from a bumper. An actuating rod (18) can pivot relative to the front wheel (22) due to relative movement of a part of the cross member (12) in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle during a small overlap crash. The actuating rod (18) in the pivoted-out state for rotating the front wheel (24) radially within a wheel rim ring (28) of the rim (22) can be gripped at the rim (22). Damage to the front wheel (24) by plastic deformation of the front end module (10) and by the actuating rod (18) can be avoided to permit satisfactory crash behavior of a motor vehicle.
