It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 84 manufacturer filings and 5 owner reports naming P2002 on 21 Ford model years (2016–2020). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2016 F-250 Super Duty (8 documents), 2017 F-350 Super Duty (7 documents), 2017 F-450 Super Duty (7 documents).

Does P2002 on a Ford mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
