I noticed this wire loom under hood...they attached the plastic thingy on wrong side of loom.. no way to twist it.
guess out comes the razor knife and reposition it
I was installing software at the end of the line at an auto plant. 15 minutes before the end of the shift the inspector would leave. Soon as he left the contract inspection crew left.
point it out when you go to the dealer...make a list of concerns or imperfections. Most or all will get fixed
I believe that 2021-2022 will have these little issues...IMO the plant is bringing in new people who were sent by the union hall. It takes a while for the newbie to perfect their duties. All businesses are suffering getting quality / experienced people since covid. Most stayed home and collected Brandon bucks. Im sure its a small part of production issues
At least that particular issue is an easy fix. The tape job also looks very sub-par on that particular harness, so I would lean towards Ding's post above. My day job is a quality control position for a fairly large company so stuff like this just makes me shake my head that it wasn't caught before you, the customer, caught it. No excuse for that.
At least that’s obvious and easy. I also would fix it myself. Not sure I want the low man warranty guy stabbing at that with a razor knife. I’d know I’d I would be more careful and make sure no wires got knicked.
I think the harness is made properly, but it was installed with a twist. That bundle coming off and going vertical should be facing the engine bay not the firewall.
That's nothing. The plug wire clips on my old 3.0 Ranger were put in backwards so they opened against the valve cover... Which meant they couldn't open. Had to cut them off to change the plug wires.

i need to look at that, the harness going up is for the under hood light.
it folds down and towards front of engine bay. but in a weird way
I will take auto factory QC any day over RV factory QC. The RV customer IS the final QC, maybe the only QC the trailer will get. RV builders get paid by piece work so it seems they are always cutting corners and rushing to get on to the next one.

Having just bought a Keystone bumper pull RV, can confirm. Mostly pretty good, but build and material quality is min level. First thing was to relocate and vibration isolate the water pump because it was up against the wall in the passthrough and vibrated the entire trailer like a jackhammer. Still, it's mostly a decent trailer.
On the harness - I'd assume those come to the line from a supplier, unless Ford has some sort of in-house harness making department. Harness's are typically laid out on a build out form so that wire lengths, stub offs, terminations, mounting items, etc can be replicated with some precision.

not to hijack my own post
but don't get me going about QC in rv industry; when we bought the BUS...omg lets just say kitchen was flooded first night at home from a "QCd" connection
