Ford has recalled 950 F-150 Lightning electric pickups from model year 2024 because a short-circuit in their high-voltage batteries could pose a fire risk.
Ford tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “Due to production process deviations at the supplier, the electrodes in the high voltage battery cells may be misaligned. Over repeated charge and discharge cycles, this misalignment can eventually lead to an internal short circuit.”
Dealers will inspect the batteries and replace parts as needed. The company is asking owners not to charge batteries past 80% until dealers can repair them.
By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.
