I ignored this warning on my ranger. 30 yr old car and a now 5 year old starter and I've had no issues
That plastic is awful
Plastic becomes brittle. They are a bugger to remove without breaking. But they do still occasionally snap.
High temp plastic does turn brittle over time... plastic breaks manufacturers will tell you that the plastic is just as strong and wear resistant. But we all know its just to make shit cheaper.
Just cheap shitty plastic my guy
Those starters fucking suck they get so much corrosion around those terminals when you go to break the nut lose it'll snap the plastic right off its a shitty design
It is obviously made out pot metal, so yeah super cheap.
the starter actually failed at 35,000km
Every single ford focus ive replaced transmissions on, that stud breaks. Every. Single. Time.
