Official summary

Some 2020-2022 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with halogen headlamps may utilize a snow plow with light emitting diode (LED) headlamps. To change the vehicle configuration from halogen to LED headlamps, run the BCM-Turn Signal Lamp Configuration application using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). Vehicles configured to use LED headlamps incorrectly may cause premature halogen bulb failure.

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.
