Official summary

Some 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 10R80 MHT transmission and built on or before 13-Oct-2022 may exhibit a rattle noise from the transmission area after a cold start in freezing temperatures. The noise typically goes away as the powertrain warms up. To improve the cold start noise condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.

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.
