Official summary

Some 2017 f-super duty vehicles with dual generators may exhibit an illuminated charging light and/or charging warning message after an upfitter has removed one of the generators. To correct this concern, use integrated diagnostic system (ids) service tool version 104.02 or later to configure the generator setup. These settings can be found under toolbox> module programming >programmable parameters> powertrain. Details for this procedure can be found on the truck body builder advisory service (bbas) website, found by clicking the link at the bottom of the webpage at https://www.fleet.ford.com.

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.
