Ford Pauses 2024 F-150 Lightning Shipments Over Quality Issue, Aims to Resume in Coming Weeks
-
Ford halted 2024 F-150 Lightning shipments on February 9th over an undisclosed quality issue. Shipments are expected to resume in coming weeks.
-
Meanwhile, hundreds if not thousands of gas-powered 2024 F-150s have piled up in Detroit lots before beginning shipments to dealers.
-
The stoppage comes after Ford introduced new incentives up to $12,500 off 2023 F-150 Lightning models to clear inventory.

Ford CEO said quality is a top priority, factoring into 70% of management's short-term incentives.

Exact timeline for resuming 2024 Lightning shipments is unclear, but expected within Ford's "early 2024" timeframe. Some customer orders already delayed by about 2 months.
