Official summary

Some 2023 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with 360-degree camera and blind spot monitoring with trailering may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes (DTCS) U1020:00 And/Or U1036:00 in the image processing module A (IPMA) if the Ford accessories trailer blind spot information system (BLIS) has not been installed by the customer. If DTCs are present and trailer BLIS has not been installed per accessory kit instructions, they should be ignored as the IPMA is attempting to detect the trailer BLIS modules. No further service action is required.

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.
