Filing in context
The Ignition coil is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 9 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 31 Honda notifications from 2014 in this archive. For scale, 144 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 3 months.
Defect
The noise-suppression resistor inside the ignition coil is improperly designed. Arc discharge generated during ignition can cause a broken wire at the resistor terminal. This reduces ignition coil output, causing engine misfires and illuminating the engine warning light. Additionally, ignition-related electrical noise may prevent proper fuel injection control, and the engine may stall.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the ignition coil with a corrected part.

状況
点火コイル内部の電気ノイズを除去する雑防抵抗の構造が不適切なため、点火時の通電によるアーク放電により、当該抵抗端末部が断線するものがある。そのため、点火コイルの出力が不足してエンジン不調となり、エンジン警告灯が点灯するおそれがある。また、点火時に発生するノイズにより燃料噴射が正しく制御できず、エンジンが停止するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、点火コイルを対策品と交換する。
