Forester Rear end wiring question

[KOOPS]

Looking over my 24 Wilderness yesterday, I finally looked underneath on my creeper. Couldn’t help but notice a wiring connection at the rear end, old school I would call it the differential. Red & white very thin wires exposed, attached to a connector. Not sure if this is a mistake on my vehicle or this is some afterthought to wiring up this thing. Vehicle can probably be disabled if a wire breaks. Maybe I’m being overly critical but this looks like an achilles to me.

That cable is armored until the attachment point.
I think that the chances of damage would be very small.

Of course, anything's possible, but some things are extremely unlikely.

Being aware of it is a good thing.

^ I agree. But if you are concerned about it wrap some tape around it.
