Hazard
Primary-side wiring connected to the ignition coil of the ignition system has sections made of material with low wire resistance. Continued extended use at low RPM causes heat buildup inside the ignition coil, resulting in short-circuiting between the primary and secondary coils and loss of high voltage on the secondary side. In the worst case, this may cause difficulty starting or engine shutdown while driving.

点火装置の点火コイルに接続している一次側配線に一部配線抵抗の少ない材質のものが 取り付けられたため、低速回転等で長時間使用を続けると、点火コイル内部が熱を持ち、 一次コイルと二次コイルが短絡し二次側に高電圧か゛発生しなくなり、最悪の場合、始動 困難又は走行中に原動機が停止するおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace ignition coil and primary-side wiring with corrected parts on all vehicles.
