SINGAPORE: Uber Technologies Inc knowingly rented its drivers defective cars at risk of catching fire, the Wall Street Journal reported on Aug 4, and the ride-hailing firm said it moved to fix the problem after one of the vehicles suffered a fire.
The Journal cited internal e-mails and documents showing Uber's Singapore unit bought more than 1,000 Vezel sport-utility vehicles that maker Honda Motor Co Ltd had recalled due to an electrical fault.
