Production of the Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck will resume after changes are made due to a battery issue that led to a fire.
On Thursday, Ford spokesperson Emma Bergg told Motor Authority production of the Ford F-150 Lightning will restart on March 13.
All Lightnings already built but not shipped will continue to sit under the in-transit stop-ship order as the teams work through"engineering and parts updates." A vehicle fire caused by a battery issue took place in February on the lot in Dearborn, Michigan, where the company holds vehicles for quality checks. It caused the production halt that will last a full month.
