Reservation holders put down $100 deposits, which Ford was converting to orders. Berg said the company is still working through a backlog of nearly 200,000 reservations for the F-150 Lightning since it stopped taking them in December 2021. The problem also stops production of a popular product.
The production halt comes at an inopportune time for Ford, which has struggled with quality issues, recalls and high warranty costs for several years. The company will continue to hold completed trucks until engineering and production changes are made.īatteries for the trucks are supplied by SK Innovation, a Korean supplier with a factory in Georgia. "We monitor vehicle data to help ensure our vehicles are performing as expected in the field," Berg said. The company believes it has identified the root cause of the battery problem, including the likely population of trucks affected by it. The truck with the battery problem and two nearby vehicles were damaged by the fire, Berg said. Prices shown for the used 2020 Ford Transit Connect Extended Passenger Van XL with NaN miles are what people paid to buy this vehicle or. The fire happened at an outdoor lot nearby in Dearborn where vehicles are held for quality checks. When geared with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, the Passenger’s EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings are 15 mpg in city driving, 19 mpg on the highway and 16 mpg combined. But for millions of small business owners and fleet managers. The Ford Transit 150 Passenger with the standard 3.7- liter engine has EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 14 mpg in the city, 18 mpg on the highway, and 15 mpg combined. "By the end of next week, we expect to conclude our investigation and apply what we learn to the truck's battery production processes," Ford spokeswoman Emma Berg said in the statement. For most drivers, a commercial van such as the 2023 Ford Transit isnt on their radar.
