Official summary

Some 2019-2020 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.3L Duratec engine and built on or before 18-Aug-2020 may exhibit a lack of heat intermittently. This may be due to the powertrain control module (PCM) not running the auxiliary coolant pump during stop-start situations. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.

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.
