Abstract: Methods, systems, and vehicles are provided for mitigating shallow offset vehicle events. A sensor onboard a vehicle provides sensor data. A processor onboard the vehicle is coupled to the sensor. The processor is configured to determine, using the sensor data, whether the vehicle is experiencing a shallow offset event using the sensor data, and initiate rotation of one of a plurality of wheels of the vehicle if the vehicle is experiencing a shallow offset event.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame rail and an impact beam attached to an axial end of the frame rail. A body panel mount is attached to the frame rail. The body panel mount is axially spaced from the impact beam a distance along a longitudinal axis. A load transferring member includes a first axial end attached to one of the impact beam and the body panel mount, and a second axial end disposed adjacent to and a pre-defined distance from the other of the impact beam and the body panel mount. The load transferring member is disposed outboard of the frame rail. The load transferring member extends at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis between the impact beam and the body panel mount.
