The man page coming with systemd-sysv does not document that command
line option. Are you perhaps using a translation which incorrectly
points at the sysv counterpart?

If you want to force an fsck on next boot, please add fsck.mode=force to
the kernel command line (see man systemd-fsck at .service).

systemd intentionally doesn't write a /force.fsck flag file to the disk
to achieve that. You typically want to avoid writing to a file system if
you are concerned about it's consistency. That's why the -F parameter is
not supported (and won't be added).
