WASHINGTON—Ford Motor Co. said Thursday it will restart production of its F-150 Lightning on March 13 after it halted output of the electric truck after a battery fire in early February.

Ford has not set a date for resuming deliveries. The U.S. automaker said as it “ramps up production, we will continue holding already-produced vehicles while we work through engineering and parts updates.”
