Official summary

All 2024 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with four-wheel drive, and that are not equipped with the Tremor package, are equipped with a front passenger side hub plug that does not rotate to mechanically lock the hub to the axle shaft. This new hub plug is permanently locked and requires no action from the customer. No repairs should be made to replace this new hub plug or to route vacuum to the knuckle. Refer to the Owner's Manual section on four-wheel drive operation for further details regarding manual engagement of hub locks.

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.
