A hood front cover assembly usable on a vehicle in which the hood has a leading edge and an underside adjacent the leading edge to reduce pedestrian injury, e.g. to the thigh or torso. The cover assembly 60 includes a deployable cover 62 and a cover housing 64. The housing is located on the underside of the hood 14 adjacent the leading edge 18. The cover is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The cover may be entirely rigid or may be partially deformable and may include a hollow flexible front portion. A mechanism 66 is provided for moving the cover between the stowed and deployed positions. The mechanism is associated with the housing and may be driven by a spring driver 66, a motor or a pneumatic driver. A pedestrian impact sensor is provided in the front end of the vehicle.
