This was a common problem on the early ST's and to the best of my knowledge 
was corrected on late 99's. We had a lot of discussion on this list about 
it - as a matter of fact, it was Richard and Lisa White that discovered the 
problem. We got ToA involved which lead to them removing the wire tie. I am 
surprised that your dealer did not catch it - I thought there was a 
bulletin put out on this.

This problem and fix is in the FAQ section (the "is there anything I need 
to be aware of" section). If anyone has a 99 they would be wise to not only 
cut the wire tie, but also check to make sure that there has been no 
rubbing damage.

Glad you were able to get through it in one piece. How long did it take to 
clean your shorts ? ;-)
