Someone explain to me the logic in the Taos fuel tank wiring harness recall, at first it payed a full hour and you had to do six splices in the harness to extend it. Than they updated it to just give you a new connecter, and changed the butt connectors to be way bigger gauge than it needed to be AND reduced the time payed to .6 or .8 so you go from doing six splices with 6 butt connectors to doing three, but with the wrong fucking parts for the job. If anything im fumbling more with these shitty giant butt connectors vs when they just supplied the right connectors for .5 wire even doing more 'work', and pay you less for it.
