Official summary

Some 2020-2021 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with an electronic steering actuator and built on or after 12-Apri-2021 may exhibit various steering fault messages with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1B00 stored in the power steering control module (PSCM). To correct the condition, reprogram the PSCM using the latest software level of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 3G568 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

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.
