Official summary

2019-2020 Transit Connect vehicles equipped with the 8F35 transmission built on or before 01-Mar-2020 may exhibit delayed reverse or drive engagement when rolling. This may be due to the software in the powertrain control module (PCM). To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to reprogram the PCM and the transmission solenoid strategy.

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.
