@icbm looks like this may be the culprit!

Pull off the white plastic connector, cut the black wire as close to it as possible, and solder both wires to the pins as close as possible to the bobbin. Then do the same at the other end - but be careful, because the return end is more fragile. Don't wiggle the connector to get it off.
You may also want to add a blob of hot-melt glue to secure the wires to the bobbin and stop any flexing there.
I understand about speed of assembly being the driving factor behind this change, and that push-connectors are not *always* a bad idea - but they really are here. Just bad design to use them in this application.

Great advice - you should do this kind of thing for a living
What's that?....
You do?
Oh
Actually what I'd like to do is be a paid consultant to all these companies to stop them introducing stupid designs like this in the first place, but I suspect it wouldn't be appreciated - since a lot of the time, they get to sell a new product...
