> Uber reached out to the authorities and other automative experts about this recall. There was NO objection from authorities.
After one car caught fire, they wrote up a plan that involved talking to authorities and experts, but that would be much too late. At that point they had already ignored the problem and intentionally endangered their drivers.

No, not give them to their drivers in the first place. Buy other cars. "Uber managers in Singapore were aware of the Honda recall when they bought more than 1,000 defective Vezels and rented them to Mr. Koh and other drivers without the needed repairs, according to internal Uber emails and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal and interviews with people familiar with Uber’s operations in the region." Uber wouldn't have to worry about taking cars off the road if they didn't knowingly buy defective cars.
