Ford did not reveal details about the quality issues that led to this but said they are not safety-related and that customer orders are not canceled.
The automaker confirmed to the paper on October 2 that the electric pickups are going through"additional quality checks" at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan."Our manufacturing team is critical to our quality efforts because they are the last line of defense for delivery to our customers. We've identified a couple of additional areas where we believe additional checks are necessary as we ramp up production," the company representative said.
F-150 Lightning battery cells are produced in Atlanta by Ford battery supplier SK On, while the battery pack is assembled at the Rawsonville Ford Plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, from where it is shipped to REVC. It remains to be seen if the additional quality checks will affect Ford's target to produce the F-150 Lightning at an annualized rate of 150,000 units by this fall.2024 Tesla Model 3 Walkaround Video Shows What's New Inside And Out
