Official summary

Some 2020 Escape/Corsair vehicles equipped with a 1.5L/2.0L/2.3L EcoBoost engine and built on or before 15-Nov-2019 may exhibit a fuel gauge that does not move and/or diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P144F in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to the fuel tank assembly. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the fuel tank.

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.
