Official summary
Some 2021 F-150 vehicles built on 23-Mar-2021 and through 31-Mar-2021 may exhibit inoperative heated seats, heated steering wheel and/or rear window defrost. This may be due to the configuration in the gateway module (GWM). To correct the condition, download and run the GWM - Gateway Module A Configuration app using the latest version of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). For claiming, use causal part 14G490 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
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.
