If you're effected, you should have received the recall. Here is a Safety report that'll let you track down the rest if you are interested.
For me, it's more than this specific recall. Ford no longer stands by their products. I contacted them and the dealer, asking to be made whole. Essentially, the reaction was "We sold it to you with this cargo capacity, but that was BS. You got something less capable. We'll keep the money."

Here are door placards from a 2020 short bed crew F-350 King Ranch with all options (more options equals less useable weight we can carry in the truck). Tires are 275/65/20 load Range E Michelins. In reading the link you provided, it applies only to a LONG BOX F-350 (trim level not specified) and explains that the reason for the change is due to mis-calculated tire loading. It seems the frame, springs and axle, shocks, etc did not cause the change. So what are your tire sizes? My neighbor went to 18” Michelins that are rated 4,400 each @ 80 psi which is far better than my 20” are maxed out at 3,750 each @ 80 psi. Does your new door stickers look any different than mine? Is your GVWR 11,500? I appreciate shining some more light on this recall. At this point, I’m not seeing a finger pointing at Ford for some deceptive advertising. 2020 and later model Chevy and GMC 1 ton SRW weight limits are in line with Ford’s.
