I recently replaced part of this brown wire from sensor. This wire was
held to the sensor with a small type of cable strap. image of repair
showing similar: http://tinyurl.com/lq2zqtw
If that strap was OEM, does it fail over time or somehow  disappear
thus allowing the wire to "hang loose" and get damaged? (IIRC, it's
close to the crank pulley)

The wire I replaced had a crack in the casing (cover) so did the
repair while changing the coolant pump etc.
