Ford stops shipping 2024 F-150 Lightnings for ‘quality checks’

Ford is being mum on what prompted the inspections.

Ford spokesperson Emma Bergg told CNN that the hold isn’t unusual for the company when production moves to a new year. It’s unclear exactly what is causing this freeze, but Automotive News reports a “supplier parts concern” halted production of both the gas and electric versions of the F-150 for a week in January. A fleet customer speaking to Automotive News said it had ordered about 100 F-150 trucks that were completed in December but hadn’t been delivered and had gotten “essentially no communication from Ford” explaining what was happening.
