Ford figured out the issue that led to the battery pack catching fire on a 2023 F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck. On Friday, Ford spokesperson Emma Bergg told Green Car Reports the automaker will recall 18 2023 Ford F-150 Lightnings and replace their high-voltage battery pack. Unlike the Chevy Bolt EV recall, Ford will not advise owners to stop driving their F-150 Lightnings, park outside, or limit charging. A free loaner vehicle will be provided to customers but it probably will not be a F-150 Lightning. F-150 Lightning production was halted in February due to a truck catching on fire outside while undergoing its pre-delivery quality check.
