That's not the coil, that's the terminal. That is IMO most likely manufacturer defect since the actual coil should burn first if it were an over-powering issue. Anyway, you may be able to gob some solder on there and fill that gap, if that doesn't work you can toss it, or try your luck with a type R recone kit available on eBay.
