Official summary

Certain 2020 Model Year Super Duty Vehicles with XL Trim and SYNC 3 Instrument Panel Cluster Replacement In some of the affected vehicles, a coding error may have caused a 2.3â  display screen instrument panel cluster (IPC) to be installed in place of the 4.2â  display screen IPC, as intended with the optional SYNC 3 package. While the display screen size is smaller and appearance differences are noticeable, there is no functional effect on the smaller display screen IPC.

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.
