Wonder if any of the guys with build dates after January 8 and have received their trucks could take picture of this "protective tape" fix. Seems a bit strange to fix it with tape but then I don't pretend to know what exactly was shorting out.
 
Mine was built 1/15 so about a week after this "change." If you tell me where to look I can certainly try and see if I can grab a pic and IF mine is wrapped.

If you watch the video he explains where they are located. While he has an older truck I suspect the relay on the new trucks are in the same place. Taking a photo of it might be a challenge however.
