SINGAPORE: Official distributor of Honda cars in Singapore Kah Motor said close to 1,900 vehicles it sold are affected by the global recall announced on Thursday.
The figure does not include vehicles sold by parallel importers.
The three models affected are Jazz, City and Freed. They were manufactured in the last two years.
Kah Motor said it would start writing to owners immediately and would also notify them once the car replacements arrive.
It added that the replacement of car parts would take about three hours.
The Japanese car maker said on Thursday it was recalling nearly 700,000 vehicles worldwide due to defective parts that could stall the engine and cause problems restarting in certain models.
The move comes after the car giant was forced to call back about 1.35 million vehicles in December and is the latest in a series of recalls to hit Japan's auto industry.
Honda said defective spring parts had been found in its Freed compact minivan, Fit compact car and City sedan that could deteriorate over time, resulting in abnormal sounds and in the worst case lead to stalling.
