Service bulletin 002503
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
SOME MEDIUM DUTY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 7.3L POWERSTROKE DIESEL ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT A NOISE ABOVE THE NORMAL SOUND OF THE DIESEL COMBUSTION. THIS NOISE MAY SOUND LIKE A ROD KNOCK, BUT IS INTERMITTENT AND INCREASES IN INTENSITY AS THE ENGINE WARMS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE. *TT
