Official summary
Some 2017-2018 Vehicles equipped with a 3.3L or 3.5L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a no crank no start condition that only occurs in freezing ambient temperatures. This may be due to a frozen starter.

Vehicles covered
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.
