Official summary

Some 2020-2021 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit a low-speed downshift operation concern with automatic engine braking enabled. This may be due to the software in the transmission control module (TCM). To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the TCM and powertrain control module (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.
