Ford is recalling 216 of its 2023 F-150 Lightning electric trucks because fasteners inside the high-voltage battery pack were not tightened correctly during manufacturing. These loose fasteners can cause electrical arcing, which significantly increases the risk of the battery catching fire. Additionally, the electrical issue can lead to a sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion. Ford dealers will inspect and secure these fasteners or replace damaged battery components at no cost to owners.
If the battery junction box fasteners are loose, electricity can jump between parts, creating intense heat and sparks known as arcing, which can ignite a fire. Furthermore, a failure in this electrical connection can cause the vehicle to lose power unexpectedly, which increases the risk of a crash.
