On Tuesday, Ford spokesperson Emma Bergg confirmed to Motor Authority that each a stop-build and an in-transit stop-ship order have been issued for the F-150 Lightning because of a possible battery problem.
The character of the battery problem was not disclosed by the automaker.
Bergg stated the potential problem was recognized as a part of Ford’s pre-delivery high quality inspections. The automaker is unaware of any incidents or points related to this potential problem within the subject with customer-owned vans.
A stop-sale has not been issued and all F-150 Lightnings already constructed and at sellers are cleared for scheduled supply.
Bergg would not elaborate on the potential battery problem. The engineering staff is presently establishing the basis reason behind the potential problem.
A timeline hasn’t been given as to when the stop-build and in-transit stop-ship orders will probably be lifted.
“It will depend on how lengthy it can take to conduct the basis trigger evaluation,” Bergg stated.
The Lightning has acquired three worth hikes since its launch almost a yr in the past. Ranging from $57,869, the Lightning is now 38.9% dearer than when it first went on sale.
