Official summary

Some 2021 F-150 vehicles built on or before 08-Oct-2021 and equipped with Pro Trailer Backup Assist may experience a System Is Not Available message in the touchscreen after the trailer detection process.

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.
