Official summary

Some 2020 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with 6.7L engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P203B. If performing pinpoint test RJ in the Powertrain Control and Emission Diagnosis (PC/ED) does not identify an issue, do not attempt any repairs at this time. Engineering is currently investigating. Monitor OASIS for updates.

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.
