Abstract
A vehicle outer door handle assembly includes a base, a latch release mechanism, and an inertial catch. The latch release mechanism includes a countermass assembly with a primary catch point and a secondary catch point, and the latch release mechanism and the counterassembly rotate between a rest position and an active position in response to movement of a door handle. The inertial catch includes a blocking shoulder and rotates from an unblocking position to a blocking position in response to inertia forces acting upon the inertial catch. When the inertial catch is in its blocking position, it prevents the countermass assembly from rotating into its active position by the blocking shoulder engaging the primary catch point or the secondary catch point.
