A deflection assembly for a vehicle including a vehicle component to be fastened or connected to a vehicle body. A connecting member extends through the vehicle component in an axial direction and is used for fastening the vehicle component to the vehicle body. A fastener is arranged on the connecting member axially in front of the vehicle component. To optimize a deformation zone of the motor vehicle a deflection element is arranged on the connecting rod axially in front of the nut. The deflection element having, in one disclosed example, a cross-section that increases at least in sections in axial direction towards the vehicle component. In addition, the deflection element may include outer surface extending obliquely to the axial direction of the connecting member.
