A crossmember for an instrument panel of a vehicle, especially a passenger car, which can be mounted, crosswise, in the vehicle forestructure, with its ends being mounted on opposite body components. The crossmember comprises a tubular main support bar, several mounting brackets attached to the main support bar at a distance from one another and designed for use in fastening the crossmember to the body of the vehicle, and at least one bracket designed to hold a bolt-on component of the instrument panel. At least one flat alignment surface is formed on the main support bar via internal high-pressure metal forming, and the bracket is equipped with one or more flat stop surfaces that rest against the alignment surface. In order to keep production of the crossmember cost-effective while enabling a precise alignment or positioning of the brackets on the main support bar, it is envisioned that at least first and second flat alignment surfaces for the brackets are provided on the main support bar, that the two alignment surfaces, viewed in a circumferential direction around the main support bar, are positioned with a gap between them, that the bracket is equipped with at least two flat stop surfaces, and that the bracket is permanently welded to the main support bar.
