Abstract
A vehicle door handle assembly includes a handle grip that is movable between a flushing position in which it is flush with an exterior door panel surface and a ready position in which it is protruding and graspable by a user. The vehicle door handle assembly also includes a back-up mechanism that includes a flap covering at least partially a cavity arranged inside the handle grip, the flap being movable between a closed position in which it covers the cavity inside the handle grip and an open position in which it permits access to the inside of the cavity, hence allowing a user to insert his fingers or an object inside the cavity and to pull on the handle grip in order to move it from the flushing position to the ready position.
