Official summary

Some 2024-2025 F-150 vehicles may exhibit poor air conditioning (A/C) cooling performance due to a low refrigerant charge level. This may be due to a leak in the A/C system. All vehicles are verified as filled with refrigerant at the plant and the A/C refrigerant system contains dye from the plant to help identify the source of leaks. Prior to any A/C compressor replacement or simply recharging the A/C system, the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00 > Diagnosis and Testing > Refrigerant Leak Detection has been updated to provide diagnostics for A/C leaks at all connection points.

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.
