A striker assembly for a vehicle closure panel includes a striker plate and a striker. The striker plate has opposite sides with at least one opening. A body of the striker extends through the at least one opening outwardly from the opposite sides to opposite first and second end regions, the second end region being configured for latched engagement with a ratchet of a latch assembly. The body is releasably fixed in a first position relative to the striker plate during normal use conditions resulting in normal use forces being applied to the striker. The body is intentionally deformable under an abnormal condition resulting in abnormal, excessively high force being applied to the striker to allow the striker to automatically move relative to the striker plate from the first position to a second position to allow a vehicle closure panel to move outwardly relative to an adjacent vehicle body structure.
