Official summary
Some 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles may experience a Stow Work Surface Before Driving message displayed in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) even when the work surface is already in the stowed position. This can be corrected by replacing the work surface switch (ML3Z-16B572-A) that is now available separately. This switch allows the concern to be corrected without the replacement of the entire center seat back assembly. For claiming use causal part 16B572 and M-time.
Vehicles covered
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.
