Official summary

Some 2015-2018 Transits may exhibit a lack of airflow from the front climate control system cabin vents in fresh air mode. This concern can be due to improper installation of the hood vent air duct plug. The correct location for the plug is on the left side hood opening per the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-02.

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.
