Official summary
Some 2017 Escape vehicles built on or before 1-Sep-2017 may exhibit a manual liftgate that is difficult to close. This may be due to the striker wing position relative to striker. To correct the condition, adjust the striker wings to the specified specification.

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.
