Official summary

Some 2020 F-150/F-Super Duty vehicles built on 18-May-2020 and through 30-Jun-2020 may exhibit a concern where the right rear door lock is inoperative but the manual lock rod works. This may be due to stack up tolerances of the handle, cable and latch. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to remove the cable barrel sleeve.

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.
