Official summary

Some 2016-1017 Taurus Police Interceptor vehicles equipped with a 3.5L/3.7L Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (TiVCT) engine may exhibit an inoperative police option accessory that requires a hardwired vehicle speed signal. Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

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.
