Official summary

2024 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a diesel engine and dual generators built on or after 02-May-2024 now utilize an accessory drive belt that is grooved on one side only. Prior to this build date, a dual groove accessory drive belt was used for this application. The accessory drive belt should not be considered a misbuild and not be changed to the dual-sided design.

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.
