Official summary

Some 2014 - 2016 fiesta equipped with 1.6l engine may exhibit a powertrain malfunction (wrench)/service warning indicator illuminated with no dtcs. The powertrain malfunction (wrench)/service warning indicator may be illuminated to indicate an engine oil change is due. If no diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs) are present in the powertrain control module (pcm) then perform appropriate scheduled maintenance per the scheduled maintenance guide. After maintenance is completed turn off the wrench light by performing the service warning indicator reset procedure. Refer to workshop manual (wsm), section

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.
