On Friday, Ford spokesperson Emma Berg told Motor Authority the automaker will recall 18 2023 F-150 Lightning electric trucks due to a battery issue. The issue is what led to the fire in February and will prompt Ford to replace the affected trucks' high-voltage battery packs. Ford has established that only 18 F-150 Lightnings with suspect packs from that four-week period went to dealers and customers. No accidents or injuries have been reported due to this recall, and the only fire took place in the Ford pre-delivery lot. Bergg reiterated that production of the F-150 Lightning with a clean stock of battery packs is still set to restart on Monday.
