Official summary

2024 F-Super Duty pickup vehicles are equipped with an all-new box cleat plate that is not compatible with the removable locking box cleat accessories. Customers seeking to use the removable locking box cleat accessories can order them from Ford Accessories as well as the compatible 2023 box cleat plate. Replacement of the new cleat to the 2023 and older style is non-warrantable.

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.
