Interesting article on F-150 and Lightnings held up:
“We’re being told it’s an electric connection with the headlights,” Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting for AutoForecast Solutions, told the Free Press. “It’s a new part for the 2024 model. The connector apparently can leak water and short out the lights. They’ll flicker or turn off. An important product like the F-Series needs to have all the quality issues addressed before trucks hit customer driveways. Making sure these issues are tackled first is good on Ford.”
“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,” said Ford spokeswoman Emma Bergg. “Quality is a massive priority, so we’re not shipping vehicles to customers until the quality is right. We don’t want trucks out there that are not up to our high standards. This is not a stop sale. Stop ship is part of the built-in manufacturing process. It’s all quality control.”
