Ford has temporarily suspended new shipments of its model-year 2024 F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck to dealerships from its factory in Michigan. It issued the stop-ship order in early February, according to Automotive News, but it's not clear when Ford will lift the measure.
"We started shipping the first newly designed F-150 pickups to dealers last week. MY24 Lightnings started shipping last month. We expect to ramp up shipments in the coming weeks as we complete thorough launch quality checks to ensure these new F-150s meet our high standards and delight customers," Ford told Ars.
Exactly what the problem is with the MY24 F-150 Lightnings is unknown, and Ford says it will "ramp shipments once quality checks are completed."
