SINGAPORE : The official distributor of Honda cars in Singapore, Kah Motor said about 205 hybrid vehicles it sold are affected by the global recall announced on Thursday morning.

The figure does not include vehicles sold by parallel importers.

The model affected is the 2006 model of the Honda Civic Hybrid.

The Japanese car maker said it was recalling 52,887 vehicles worldwide due to a defective chip that could stall the engine and cause problems restarting in certain models.

Kah Motor said it would start writing to owners immediately and would also notify them once the replacement parts arrive.

It added that the repairs will take about an hour.

Should owners encounter engine stalling or are unable to start their vehicles, they are advised to call the service hotline at 68413838.
