Summary
Ford Motor recently experienced issues with its all-electric pickup truck, the F-150 Lightning. On Jan. 27, the company issued a "customer service action" for a small group of vehicles to have parts replaced to "prevent performance degradation" of the high-voltage battery. Ford said the problem only affected about 100 vehicles and is not believed to be connected to a fire that occurred on Feb. 4. Other automakers have also had issues with their electric vehicles, including plug-in hybrids, due to fire risks in recent years. Ford is in the process of nearly doubling production capacity of the F-150 Lightning at a Michigan plant to 150,000 units by fall 2023.
