Official summary

Some 2020-2021 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine and built on or before 10-Feb-2021 may exhibit an illuminated powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) lamp with only diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P07F6 stored in the transmission control module (TCM). The vehicle may also exhibit harsh engagements, poor shift quality and/or loss of 9th gear as a result of the DTC being set. This may be due to the software in the TCM. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the TCM.

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.
