Official summary

Some 2022 F-Super Duty vehicles may exhibit inoperative heated/ventilated front seats during a remote start event. This may be due to the software in the driver seat module (DSM). To correct the condition, reprogram the DSM using the latest software version of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use 14C708 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

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.
