Official summary

Some 2015-2016 f-150 vehicles equipped with a fl3z-16c900-a (smoke) or fl3z-16c900-b (chrome), genuine ford authorized accessory (gfaa) hood/bug deflector kit, may exhibit a rattle noise, vibration, or looseness at the deflector. A new hardware kit (gl3z-99000a25-b) is now available which improves installation and reduces noise, vibrations and looseness.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
