Motor vehicle lock

A motor vehicle lock comprising:

• a lock latch configured to be pivoted about a lock latch axis and moved to an open position and to at least one closed position, when the lock latch is in a mounted state and in a closed position of the at least one closed position, the lock latch is in holding engagement with a locking part, when the lock latch is in the open position, the lock latch releases the locking part;
• a locking mechanism configured to move to a locked state, in which the locking mechanism locks the lock latch disposed in the closed position, and a release state, in which the locking mechanism releases the lock latch disposed in the open position, the locking mechanism including a locking pawl arrangement provided with a locking pawl pivotably mounted via a pivot bearing, the locking pawl is configured to engage and lock the lock latch;
• a crash locking surface, wherein during normal operation an engagement surface of the locking pawl and the crash locking surface are disengaged from each other and wherein during a crash event, the engagement surface of the locking pawl and the crash locking surface come into engagement with each other in response to deformation-induced yielding of the locking pawl or the pivot bearing as a result of crash forces transmitted by the locking part so that at least a portion of crash forces are dissipated via the crash locking surface,
• wherein the locking pawl arrangement includes a carrier pawl pivotably connected to the locking pawl via a connecting joint, wherein the connecting joint forms the pivot bearing of the locking pawl, and
• wherein the crash locking surface is a constituent part of a bearing mandrel, the bearing mandrel is a constituent part of the pivot bearing of the carrier pawl.
