The recall is related to when the vehicle’s high voltage battery is at a high state of charge, the battery could experience a short that could result in a vehicle fire.

Bergg told the Free Press on Friday that the automaker"recently discovered" the affected vehicles had been delivered. "We learned this when we reverified the locations of the trucks built with battery cells from the four-week window in question," she said."Customers will be notified as soon as possible to make arrangements with their dealer to have their battery pack replaced. Customers will receive a loan vehicle and, once repaired, their vehicle will be returned to them. "

Customers may continue to drive and charge their vehicles, Bergg said, however tucks should be taken for repair as soon as possible. The Lightnings passed a pre-delivery quality check and connected vehicle data shows no anomalies, she told the Free Press.
