Honda Fit fires, collisions prompt at least sixth major recall
Honda Motor Co. will conduct at least the sixth round of major recalls involving its top-selling Fit compact in less than three years, as the automaker struggles to move past the quality woes that contributed to a change in chief executive officers.
The company will recall more than 283,000 Fits and Vezel crossovers after reports of six fires related to a control systems flaw and two collisions linked to a power steering defect, said transport ministry official Yuichi Yamamoto. None of the incidents resulted in death or injury, he said.
Persistent recalls of the Fit and Vezel that first began in October 2013 were among quality woes that led former President Takanobu Ito to abandon a global sales target before resigning the position. His successor, Takahiro Hachigo, has reshuffled top management and consolidated responsibility for product planning and evaluation, ceding more control back to the company’s overwhelmed research and development division.

Rented but recalled Uber car bursts into flames in Singapore
Uber is under fire once more, this time for knowingly renting defective cars of which at least one caught fire according to a report by the Wall Street Journal
Uber knowingly rented recalled Honda sports utility vehicles to its drivers in Singapore, at least one of which caught fire, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
The paper reported Uber's Singapore office bought more than 1,000 Honda Vezel sports utility vehicles to rent to its drivers there. The cars contained a faulty electrical part that could catch on fire and Honda had recalled in Japan and elsewhere. There had been at least six reports of fires in the Vezel.
As soon as Uber learned of its rented Honda Vezel catching fire, "we took swift action to fix the problem, in close coordination with Singapore’s Land Transport Authority as well as technical experts," Uber said in a statment. "But we acknowledge we could have done more—and we have done so."

Honda Fit fires, collisions prompt at least sixth major recall
Honda Motor Co. will conduct at least the sixth round of major recalls involving its top-selling Fit compact in less than three years, as the automaker struggles to move past the quality woes that contributed to a change in chief executive officers.
The company will recall more than 283,000 Fits and Vezel crossovers after reports of six fires related to a control systems flaw and two collisions linked to a power steering defect, said transport ministry official Yuichi Yamamoto. None of the incidents resulted in death or injury, he said.
Persistent recalls of the Fit and Vezel that first began in October 2013 were among quality woes that led former President Takanobu Ito to abandon a global sales target before resigning the position. His successor, Takahiro Hachigo, has reshuffled top management and consolidated responsibility for product planning and evaluation, ceding more control back to the company’s overwhelmed research and development division.
