Official summary

Some 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles may experience a snap, click and/or pop noise coming from the tailgate when closing. This may be to due an incorrectly positioned tailgate torsion rod. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to position the tailgate torsion rod and tighten the clamp block bolts.

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.
