Official summary

Some 2022-2023 F-150 Lightning vehicles that require replacement of an HV battery module may require installation of a thermal blanket. The following articles have been updated to assist in accuracy and improved part ordering:<br /> Parts Catalog: When ordering an HV battery module, a note will be present in the catalog if the VIN requires a thermal blanket.<br /> Dealer Communication (eFC) (USA Only): The correlating eFC on FMC Dealer for Lightning High Voltage Battery Array Kits has been corrected to advise proper part numbers and when to include a thermal blanket in the part order.<br /> Pa

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.
