RecallScope risk estimate:HighCAA Japan

An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Honda N-WGN and others) - Repair. Due to an engine (ignition coil) defect. ■ Defective component (part name): Engine (ignition coil). ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards and its cause: The noise suppression resistor that removes electrical noise inside the ignition coil has an improper structure. As a result, arc discharge caused by current flow during ignition may break the electrical connection at the resistor terminal. This may cause insufficient ignition coil output, rough engine operation and illumination of the engine warning light. In addition, noise generated during ignition may prevent proper control of the fuel injection system, potentially causing the engine to stall. Published 2015-11-26.
