Ford F-150 Lightning fire caught on camera prompts production pause and recall.

TL;DR Summary
A new video obtained by CNBC shows the fire that engulfed a set of Ford F-150 Lightnings in a holding lot earlier this year, leading to the suspension of production and recall of some vehicles. The cause of the fire was traced to a "rare" issue affecting the vehicle's battery, which is made by South Korean supplier SK On. Electric vehicle fires are notoriously difficult to put out and burn hotter and faster than traditional vehicle fires. Ford has since implemented quality actions and resumed production and shipping of vehicles to customers.
