Ford stops production of electric F-150 after battery fire
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.
Production at Ford’s Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, has been stopped until at least the end of next week.
The automaker said in a statement that it has no reason to believe electric pickups already in use by customers are affected by the battery issue.
