Official summary

Some 2017-2020 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P20EE. The Powertrain Controls and Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) pinpoint test RD15 has been updated to perform a diesel particulate filter (DPF) manual regeneration with the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool twice along with performing a diesel particulate filter (DPF) parameter reset and drive cycle.

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.
