Official summary

Some 2018 F-150 vehicles built on or before 25-Feb-2018 may experience an inoperative auto start-stop feature after the powertrain control module (PCM) software has been updated. This may be due to various software parameters within the PCM. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.

Vehicles covered

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.
