Abstract
A Bowden cable assembly for a vehicle door handle includes a Bowden cable having a first section connected to a first end-piece and a second section connected to a second end-piece, the first end-piece being configured to interact with the vehicle door handle and the second end-piece being configured to interact with a locking system configured to unlock a vehicle door when the vehicle door handle is being pulled by a user. The first end-piece and the second end-piece each includes a sleeve with a tip forming an abutment, and the abutments formed by the tips of the sleeves of the first end-piece and the second end-piece are configured to make contact with each other so as to block a translation of the Bowden cable when the Bowden cable has been pulled for a predetermined distance.
