Manufacturer Narrative

The reported complaint was confirmed.Inspection of the sensor found that the oxygen (o2) sensor connector does not connect as firmly as the lab sensor and is loose.Visual inspection shows the returned sensor may be missing contacts internally, but when tested this sensor operates to the manufacturer specifications.There is no specification for how tight the sensor should connect to its connector.Measurements of the insert ports appeared to be in line with the other sensors.Examination of the sensor port interior with camera equipment, founds solder deposits inside the cable insert port shaft.This is the cause of the reported insertion issue and would have been deposited during the production process.
