Likely a commonly occuring problem on the discrete wire IDC connectors, this one 2003. The core and insulation of the screened wire is too thick for the IDC metal. Presumably the IDC metal relaxes and only marginal metal contact to pass factory tests in the first place. Only light finger force required to lift the wire out of the trap. The screening contacts are fine, as just heatshrink sleving on them.

There are about 10 such screened leads inside , with an IDC on either end. I suppose the probability of 1 in 20 failing is quite high.
