Official summary
Some 2020 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine may exhibit a no crank concern with an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) due to low fuel level or low fuel pressure. The most common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) associated with a low fuel pressure concern are P0087 and P008A. Prior to performing Powertrain Controls and Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) Section diagnostics for a no crank concern, verify the vehicle is not out of fuel or has a low fuel pressure concern. The no crank symptom after a low fuel pressure event is new for the 2020 model year.
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.
