Ford 150 lightning recall

[NamMedevac_70]

Ford is recalling their 150 lightning pickups due to EV battery fire/s. According to Google business news.

This is a PSA so don't shoot the messenger KHs.

Since you are desperate for the last word, you can have it sport. Happy trails to you.

Ya gotta love it, anyone who disagrees with me isn't open minded and a censor. LOL

No not at all. I just don't think they are special or superior to us ICE Dudes and I agree with Elon Musk on many issues. I do see we have a few censorship members on the forum and my post brings them out of the woodwork. Cheers to the open minded.

Hey Nam, what’s a KH? Btw

Fwiw, when you use an acronym if it’s not widely understood or in enough context to decipher, it’s usually spelled out the first time with the intended acronym following it, in parentheses.

Not mandatory especially in casual conversation such as this, but in the spirit of you being just the “objective messenger”, wanna make sure I didn’t miss anything important that may affect my decision to buy a Ford Lightning.
(The new ones, not the cool old supercharged ones, of course )

Typical forum BS. If you don't like the news message, then attack the messenger by bored members (censorship). Predictable. Battery fires are a big problem for EV manufacturers, but you didn't bother to read that part. As a happy dodge ram gasser, this is no concern to me.

"Battery fires were such a huge issue for General Motors that the company had to issue a mass recall on the Chevy Bolt EV. The recall cost the company over one billion dollars. GM is looking to cut ties with LG following its battery fire issue.

The Ford F-150 Lightning’s battery problem is a huge issue for the EV space for two reasons. This incident makes drivers question the reliability of the electric vehicle. The second, more troubling reason that F-150 Lightning battery fires are a huge issue is because of the specific battery that’s a fire risk.

Battery fires were enough to make GM want to abandon its partnership with LG. It seems LG isn’t the only company that is producing EV batteries that can cause fires. According to CNBC, the F-150 Lightning models that are fire risks are powered by SK On batteries. These batteries power several popular electric vehicles, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6." What part of this news story is a lie ????. This same news has appeared in other business news articles besides motor biscuit KH. Many RVers own other EV vehicles besides the F 150.

Thanks for helping the 17 potential Lightning owners on this forum. (Of which I’m pretty sure there’s zero, or they’d be blabbling about their truck! Lol)
Oh and speak for yourself on the old timer thing.
You may have heard about what the word assume actually means! Hahaha

"Ford recently halted F-150 Lightning electric pickup production due to battery fire issues. The Blue Oval isn’t the first automaker to experience battery fire issues, and it won’t be the last.

Battery fires were such a huge issue for General Motors that the company had to issue a mass recall on the Chevy Bolt EV. The recall cost the company over one billion dollars. GM is looking to cut ties with LG following its battery fire issue.

The Ford F-150 Lightning’s battery problem is a huge issue for the EV space for two reasons. This incident makes drivers question the reliability of the electric vehicle.

According to CNBC, the F-150 Lightning models that are fire risks are powered by SK On batteries. These batteries power several popular electric vehicles, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.

Why was the Ford F-150 Lightning recalled?

The Ford F-150 Lightning was recalled because of improperly produced battery cells that were made at SK On’s Georgia plant. The Blue Oval recalled 18 electric pickup trucks once it realized that the EVs made with the cells were at risk of causing battery fires.

This is the first major Ford F-150 Lightning reliability issue to date, so it’s rough news for fans of the electric pickup. The brand’s first electric vehicle, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, has recently been plagued with several reliability issues.

This small F-150 Lightning recall could change the way many consumers perceive the electric pickup truck. The Ford F-150 Lightning is currently the most popular electric pickup, but fear of battery fires or reliability issues could leave room for a competitor to overtake the EV. This incident will send shockwaves through the industry because yet another electric vehicle battery supplier is producing batteries that are potentially unstable.

Is the Ford F-150 Lightning a good truck?

Recall Alert: Ford F-150 Lightning Batteries Are Catching on Fire"

This article seems a bit overly dramatic considering the issue was isolated to one group of batteries of which 18 were installed in new trucks and one caught fire. And none of those trucks had yet been delivered to buyers. Sounds like media trying to create a big story out of what is so far apparently an isolated issue. Maybe motorbisquit is anti EV. Or anti Ford.

Ford produced over 13,000 F150 EVs in 2022, apparently with no issues. And plans for 150,000 in 2023.

They supposedly identified the root cause and was supposed to resume production today. Until EV become equal to or better than ICE vehicles I don't really have any interest.
