The fire was discovered Feb. 4 and production halted a day later. Ford expects to conclude its investigation by the end of next week.
DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford Motor Co. has suspended production and halted shipments of the F-150 Lightning electric pickup after a battery caught fire during a pre-delivery quality check.
The automaker said in a statement Wednesday night it has no reason to believe electric pickups already in use by customers are affected by the battery issue. The fire happened at an outdoor lot nearby in Dearborn where vehicles are held for quality checks. The truck with the battery problem and two nearby vehicles were damaged by the fire, Berg said. No injuries were reported.
