Ford pauses production on its F-150 Lightning truck over "battery issue"
CBSN
Ford Motor will pause production on its F-150 Lightning until at least February 24 because the electric pickup truck has a battery problem.
The Michigan automaker spotted a potential battery issue this week during a pre-delivery quality inspection and started investigating the cause. Ford said it's not aware of battery issues impacting vehicles already out on the road.
"We believe we have identified the root cause of this issue," Ford spokeswoman Emma Bergg told CBS MoneyWatch on Wednesday. "By the end of next week, we expect to conclude our investigation and apply what we learn to the truck's battery production process."
