"During a standard Lightning pre-delivery quality inspection, one vehicle displayed a battery issue. We believe we have identified the root cause of this issue.

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.
