rear bumper

Tailgate collision absorber

A rear bumper is the protective bar or panel at the back of a vehicle, designed to absorb impact in low-speed collisions.

Originally solid metal, modern bumpers are typically plastic covers over energy-absorbing structures.

Someone rear-ended me, but the rear bumper took most of the damage.
