Official summary

Some 2013-2014 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.5L EcoBoost engine may require service to the brake vacuum pump. The brake vacuum pump removal and installation procedure in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 206-07, has been updated to include RTV sealing surface cleaning and preparation.

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.
