An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Honda Fit and others) - Repair. Defects in ① the engine (ignition coils) and ② electrical equipment (power supply circuit). ■ Defective parts (component names): ① Engine (ignition coils). ② Electrical equipment (power supply circuit). ■ Structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards, and its cause: ① The structure of the suppression resistor that removes electrical noise inside the ignition coil is inappropriate. Consequently, arc discharge caused by current flow during ignition may break the connection at the resistor terminal. This may reduce ignition coil output, causing poor 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. ② The power supply circuit has insufficient protection against electrical noise. Noise generated by the vehicle's electrical components may therefore cause the power control unit to malfunction. As a result, the relay supplying power to the engine control computer and other equipment may fail to operate, causing the instrument panel to go dark and the engine to stall while driving. Published 2014-10-23.
What to do now
(Recall) 3457 ■ Remedial measures: ① Replace the ignition coils with improved parts on all vehicles. ② Add a noise filter to the power supply circuit on all vehicles.
