Official summary

Some 2015-2016 Fiesta vehicles equipped with a 1.6L engine may exhibit insufficient A/C cooling after engine RPM changes. A/C cooling may return after switching the A/C off and back on. This may be due to an internal leak path in compressor that allows pressure to fluctuate. To correct the condition replace the A/C compressor (19703). Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 412-00. Use applicable labor operations from section 11 of the service labor time standard (SLTS) manual.

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.
