Official summary

Some 2020 Police Interceptor Utility vehicles built on or before 21-Apr-2020 may exhibit inoperative manual rear door locks. This may be due to the manual rear door lock cable becoming dislodged from the rear door. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to apply adhesive to the manual rear door lock cable.

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.
