Official summary
Certain 2020-2024 Model Year Transit All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) Vehicles All-Wheel-Drive Module (AWDM) Software Update. Warranty part analysis and bench testing has shown that thrust bearing damage can occur as a result of repeated high-torque launches consistent with severe-duty package delivery applications. Over time, fatigue failure of the thrust bearing can create loose metal debris in the system and distribute it throughout the transfer case, damaging other internal components and affecting vehicle performance.

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.
