A "fender bender" is a minor automobile accident, one which causes damage but not injury, i.e. "it bends the fenders" (but more commonly the bumpers and lights).

Of course, the term originated when fenders were always sheet metal that might be bent back into shape. This is not the case with plastics and fiberglass.
