Ford Halts F-150 Production For Another Week

An update to a story that we've been following here on closing bill, production of Ford's F150 lightning is on pause for another week. A vehicle fire linked to a battery flaw gave the company pause, so it's halting assembly lines for the electric pickup for another week. And as you can see shares of the company right now are down just above 1%. Last week, Ford confirmed to cheddar news that it identified the cause of the problem. In a statement, the automakers said its battery supplier is now making batteries again, but it will be some time before these batteries are included in the Lightning Again, federal safety regulators are talking to Ford about this issue. Ford has a lot riding on this F 1 50 Lightning. This is the first electric pickup on the market.
