Official summary

Some 2017 f-super duty vehicles may be equipped with a new upfitter module, designated as generic function module 2 (gfm2), which may require additional programming by the upfitter if the module is replaced. This data must be obtained directly from the upfitter company and contact information should be obtained from the customer or may be found in information placed on the vehicle by the upfitter, typically in the door opening.

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.
