Wow! First I've heard of that. 2015-2019 are basically clones, so there would be some
elevated of incidence of that from earlier years too. Vegetarian tape, eh? We used to see
nibbled-away alternator silicone rubber insulators often, surmising that rodents liked the
high current 12v "buzz" underneath, but wholesale harness issues are a new one for me.
I'd check with a couple of high volume Dealer service managers for more anecdotal
evidence. I've NEVER seen such evidence in the 2016-2018 Legs/OBs I service and
resell. I wouldn't be surprised if someone isn't pulling your leg, but you're obviously
deeper into this scenario. Good luck. Ern TSG/B
