Official summary

2019 F-Super Duty fleet-only vehicles equipped with a telematics control unit (TCU) may have DTC B1D55 present. These vehicles are not equipped with a secondary antenna due to the fleet-only TCU not requiring a secondary antenna input. If DTC B1D55 is present, but there is no sail antenna present (roof mounted antenna with a small fin), then no repairs should be performed for this DTC.

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.
