Official summary

Some 2021-2022 F-150 (non-Lightning and non-3.5L PowerBoost) vehicles may exhibit an illuminated anti-lock brake system (ABS) indicator and stability-traction control indicator with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C1013:09 stored in the ABS module. This may be due to ABS module software parameters. To correct the condition, update the ABS module to the latest software level using the appropriate scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 2005 and applicable labor operations in Section 02 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

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.
