Official summary

Some 2014-2015 focus and fiesta vehicles equipped with a 1.0l gtdi built on or before 07/25/2015 may exhibit lack of power and multiple miss fire diagnostic trouble codes (dtc). If normal engine diagnosis leads to low compression and piston damage, inspect the exhaust valves for a pin hole in the center of the valve head.

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.
