Official summary

Some 2015-2019 Transit vehicles equipped with a 3.7L engine and block heater may exhibit a repeat coolant leak from a deteriorated O-ring and/or intake manifold thermostat housing. This may be due to the block heater in the thermostat housing. To correct the condition, install a block heater service kit in the engine block.

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.
