The battery issue uncovered during a quality inspection at Ford's F-150 Lightning plant in Dearborn has now prompted a recall for the popular electric pickup, albeit a small one. Ford says 18 2023 model-year trucks were shipped to dealers and possibly delivered to customers with a potentially defective battery cell.
At this time, Ford isn't aware of any injuries or accidents connected to the issue. The fix involves replacing the battery pack at no cost to the customer. Owners affected by the recall will be notified as soon as possible, but in the meantime, Ford states the trucks can still be driven and charged. But an appointment to replace the battery pack should be made as soon as possible.
