  • Publication number: 20200198704
    Abstract: A protective system for a high voltage module of an electrified vehicle arranged at least partially in a crush zone of the vehicle comprises a housing defining a front end and a rear end and having the high voltage module disposed therein, wherein the front end is securely connected to a frame of the vehicle and the rear end is disconnected from or loosely connected to the frame, the front end including high voltage wiring for the high voltage module, and a displacement device connected to the frame behind the rear end of the housing, wherein in response to a vehicle impact event that compresses the frame in the crush zone, the displacement is configured to vertically displace the rear end of the housing and the high voltage module therein, thereby protecting the high voltage module and the high voltage wiring from damage during compression of the crush zone.

  • Patent number: 10443724
    Abstract: A rotary actuator assembly for a manual park release system of a vehicle transmission is provided. The assembly includes a cable link configured to couple to a manual park release cable, the manual park release cable configured to couple to the transmission to selectively move the transmission between a park gear and an out-of-park gear, and a key configured to engage and rotate the cable link. The key rotates the cable link between a first position, a second position, and a third position. In the first position, the cable link is in an inactive position. In the second position, the cable link is configured to move the manual park release cable to shift the transmission to the out-of-park gear. In the third position, the cable link is configured to move the manual park release cable to shift the transmission to the park gear.
