Do you know that Ford is aware of the problem? I think that would be the only way they would develop and issue a TSB.
No, I don’t know. But this seems to be a common experience for us owners. My gut tells me Ford engineers know about it (or soon will).

Need to start a tracker. Haven’t seen anything on the FB pages. How many actually have posted on here have it? 10-15? I did but like 2 times. It actually only ever did it thinking back when i was on a slight incline in my driveway with the parking break on and once not. But the one time i wasn’t in the driveway it sounded more like the front end. Truck never moved or anything just a loud kinda bang/thump

F150s had an extremely similar problem around 2018-2020. There are Reddit threads with 500+ comments. To my knowledge, Ford never acknowledged or solved it.

Did it cause any serious problems internally? Or is it just an unsettling noise?
I haven't noticed any noise, because my truck is on scheduled starts or remote started.
