‘Front parking sensor not available- Sensor blocked - See manual’ new 2025 Lariat

[Achtungg]

As the title says, receiving this warning since yesterday. Truck is about a month old. Can’t find anything in the digital manual. I tried 3 searches & it’s worthless

Zero visible damage to front sensors, fender etc. Just started out of blue yesterday morning; nothing notable about any recent drives.

Anyone seen this obviously will take to dealer.

snow/ice on the front? parked too close to tall weeds or a wall? heck my vehicles even do this if i'm too close behind someone at a light (or someone is too close behind me), especially if it's the same make/model.

if it's happening on a clean car in the middle of an open area, then yeah, time for a trip to the dealership. could be a sensor is out-of-alignment. happened to one of mine in the bumper after a repair from an accident. they didn't have it in perfect and it had to be re-aligned.

I was thinking blocked by ice and snow also but I checked his profile and it says Florida so I figured they probably don't have as much snow and ice as I do in Michigan.

Nope. No snow or ice.

I’m wondering if this is beginning of some sort of 2025 recall campaign.

I have found that on really cold mornings, or if it has snowed, I get a message my collision sensor is blocked. After the truck warms up I don’t see it anymore. I live in Oklahoma.

Could be as simple as disconnected wiring, my wife's Escape after 3 1/2 years the passenger front door wouldn't lock, not even manually. Turned out a connector came loose, probably not connected fully at plant.

Has the truck been washed recently? May be dirt

What is it with random happenings and the first words written are "recall".

If it won't go away, speak to your dealer.

I’m traumatized from monthly love letters from Ford about my ‘22 Maverick.

Everything is clean. It warns while driving and braking approaching other vehicles etc. For the time being I’ve disabled the front sensors through the center console,

I had that happen once to me recently this winter on my 2023. It happened once and not again. In the PNW, lots of rain and we did get some below freezing temps during that time. And my truck lives outdoors. Maybe the rain washed it away. AS I am finishing this up, I recall hitting my brakes really hard due to some dumbseet that could not stay in his lane, and I had to swerve toward the center divider, maybe that was related.

Had this happen this morning and it was raining pretty hard. Went away in about 10 minutes of driving. I suspect it was covered with a lot of water.

Turned the sensor back on thinking maybe it needed to “restart”. Still happening across all normal driving situations. I’ll be interested to see what the dealer says,
