Official summary

Certain 2023 Model Year F-150 Lightning Gateway Module Programing In all of the affected vehicles, the Gateway Module (GWM) may lose internet connection. This may cause the vehicle to experience an inoperative FordPass application (inability to review the vehicle's state of charge, inoperative remote start and/or inoperative remote lock and unlock). This may be combined with diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) U0146:09 stored in the telematics control unit (TCU) and U2402:00 and/or U2402:92 stored in the gateway module (GWM).

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.
