Inspectors noticed a 'potential battery issue' and put on the brakes on production of the much-in-demand electric pickup today.
Ford has shut down production and shipping of the F-150 Lightning electric truck, citing a battery issue.
The automaker is currently investigating a potential problem with the battery, although it said there have been no accidents or injuries associated with it in customer use.Ford's F-150 Lightning pickup truck has proved wildly popular in its first year of production, but customers already standing by to get one may have to wait a little longer.
The Lightning is built at Ford's Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, where production started in late April 2022. A Ford spokesperson toldthat the truck is under a "Stop Build and In-Transit Stop Ship" and explained, "As part of our pre-delivery quality inspections, a vehicle displayed a potential battery issue and we are holding vehicles while we investigate. We are not aware of any incidences of this issue in the field.
