I seriously doubt that anyone is going to get a better solder joint using a radio shack iron than was achieved at the factory (even using a different alloy than was originally intended). The repaired solder joint will fail quicker than the original did.
I've even soldered fusable links before & had them blow out again.
Thanks for the additional insight. I'm sure you are both right. I don't think the warning was there to sell more parts. That's a little far fetched and leaves them open to liability suits. Afterall, the VX is the most warning oriented SUV on the market given the Consumer Report's lawsuit agains't Isuzu and all.....
