Official summary

On 2016 transit connect vehicles equipped with a 2.5l flex fuel vehicle (ffv) engine the parts catalog is being updated to correctly identify the fuel filler neck. The 2.5l engines can have an ffv or non-ffv fuel filler neck. If the original fuel filler neck is black (non-ffv) order dv6z-9034-a, dv6z-9034-c or dv6z-9034-k. If the original fuel filler neck is yellow (ffv) order part number fv6z-9034-g. The parts catalog is in the process of being updated.

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.
