Car bumpers can crack for several reasons, but most generally because the car has collided with something suddenly. A minor collision with a bollard or high kerb can cause a bumper scuff, bumper scrape or indeed a bumper crack. Most modern Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) bumpers are made from plastic with a steel underpinning bar hidden in the centre, so the plastic bumper may easily crack if damaged.
