Depends on how high it was. Excessive idling or lots of short trips where it doesn't warm up fully can cause this, otherwise it can be an injector o-ring or possibly other injector problems.

CHRIS: The flashpoint of this oil was very low. We determine fuel dilution by the flashpoint and at this level it shows 7.5% of the sample was fuel (it should be 1-2%). Additives can lower the flashpoint and we see that you've used one. When we find this much fuel in a sample, though, it tends to dilute our wear readings. You can see that for
an oil run 4,000 miles wear was very low. Universal averages are based on an oil run of ~5,000 miles. Be sure to keep an eye on your oil level. If you notice an increase or smell diesel, then you can be sure a problem exists. Check back to monitor.

I have the same problem
I just got my report last night and the told me the same thing. I have fuel in the oil as a result I have excessive iron,lead and zinc which means piston wear and bearing wear. I have no idea on what to do next to fix the problem.

Since you are within the warranty period, contacting the dealer is the best option. Bring them the oil analysis report.
My guess is that they will want to do an oil analysis after you get a few miles on the truck after an oil change. I believe that Ford's limit for fuel dilution is 6%.
