A Honda Vezel is seen in Singapore August 4, 2017. It reported the Singapore management was aware of the recall, and that the cars Uber had bought and rented out had not been repaired. The Journal reported the vehicle caught fire in January. An Uber spokesman in Singapore declined to elaborate on whether management knowingly rented out defective vehicles, directing Reuters to the company statement. The Journal reported that Uber's lawyers had assessed potential legal liabilities including possibly violating driver contracts.
