Official summary

Some 2021 Edge/Nautilus vehicles may exhibit a VIN mismatch condition in both side obstacle detection control modules (SODL/SODR) during Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) vehicle identification. This may be due to an incorrect As-Built configuration. Do not attempt to replace the SODL and/or SODR modules. This condition does not affect vehicle function. Engineering is currently working on a solution. Monitor OASIS for updates.

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.
