Official summary

Some 2020 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with a TCU may exhibit incomplete user authorization and/or no authorization pop-up received on the SYNC infotainment system. Verify that Customer Connectivity Settings (CCS) are turned ON from the SYNC infotainment system, the vehicle ignition is on, and the vehicle is in an area with cellular coverage. Then select Activate Vehicle on the Ford Pass/Lincoln Way mobile app. If the concern persists, delete the VIN from the mobile app, re-add the VIN, and select Activate Vehicle . If the concern is still present, follow normal diagnostics in Workshop M

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.
