Filing in context

For scale, 2,693 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 3 months.
Defect
On manual transmission vehicles, the engine control unit uses an inadequate current control strategy for the ignition coil. When the engine stalls due to a clutch operation, excessive current may flow through the ignition coil. In the worst case, the ignition coil fuse may blow, preventing the engine from starting.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the engine control unit with the corrected software, and replace the ignition coil fuse, relay box cover, and owner's manual with corrected parts.
