Official summary

Some 2023 F-Super Duty vehicles may exhibit Waze app freezing events on the center display screen while the FM radio is playing. This may be due to the APIM software. Replacement or reprogramming of the APIM may not resolve this condition. As an interim action, disconnect the universal serial bus (USB) cable from the port and reconnect. It may be necessary to completely disconnect the phone from SYNC (or delete the phone entirely and reintroduce the phone to SYNC). Engineering is working on a solution and will be released via an over the air (OTA) software update expected in Q2 2023. Customers

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.
