Module carrier structure for vehicle front end having a groove for a wire harness

摘要

A module carrier structure for the vehicle front end includes a horizontal upper frame portion and a horizontal middle frame portion that constitute a radiator assembly frame. The middle frame portion simply rests on a rear bumper beam of a front bumper when the carrier structure is fastened to the front of the vehicle body. The middle frame portion has in its forward surface a groove for accommodating a wire harness whereby the wire harness is protected from heat damage by the radiator and condenser in the engine compartment. The wire harness is free from damage due to a light collision of the vehicle because the bumper beam can slide relative to the middle frame portion. The harness groove may be provided in an attachment below the middle frame portion.
