Ford Motor Co. confirmed Wednesday that a vehicle fire prompted a production stoppage on the all-electric F-150 Lightning.
The Dearborn, Michigan, automaker also said Wednesday it will keep production of the electric pickup truck down through at least the end of next week as it continues to probe the issue.
The Detroit Free Press first reported news of a vehicle fire. Earlier this week, Ford confirmed it had halted production and stopped shipments of the vehicle over an unidentified battery problem. The F-150 Lightning is built at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn.
