Backup camera fix Recall is out now

[Fcnrwy]

So you never had a recall or you had it fixed? I have a 24 also and have the recall but still waiting for advice from Ford as to when.

I would assume, he only had the "Camera" as a Recall...

Connecting to WiFi don’t work anymore, just said searching

Were you indeed already setup for your WiFi nearby?
Because just as I could see radio presets lost, I'd bet the wifi settings (connection and password) are lost.

My dealer originally was going to send a mobile service tech, but then told me that the "verification" process that has to be done before they release it can't be done away from the shop. Let us know if your dealership does it with mobile.

Dealership service manager just called me to setup a mobile update - gave a spiel to encourage that rather than bringing it in and possibly sitting all day, or drop off.

So that's bogus that it can't be done away from the shop.

Now - maybe THAT dealership for the only personnel they were willing spare for these jobs did not feel comfortable letting THOSE people do it anywhere but where a more experienced tech was nearby.
Good for them, I guess. But give the actual reason - don't blame it on verification process.

I'm sure they are getting paid a flat rate for this job - if they can find someone cheaper to do it - they make some money.
But they'd rather not throw away profit on 10 jobs because of one that hosed the module, and now requires a tow to dealership, and a master tech to deal with it - perhaps unpaid.

The one I had a deposit on, got fixed or updated or whatever but I’m finishing the paperwork tomorrow after work and then bringing it home.

I picked up my 24 XLT Tuesday after work. Haven't had much time to drive yet as I drive my Hondu CRV to work. I've put about 30 miles on and here's just a couple initial reactions-

More comfortable driving then I remember and also more roomy compared to my 2006 Honda CRV (not including the back seat though) and more than my 1999 Mazda B4000.

There is definitely road noise, which I'm used to from my CRV, just a little surprised. I do have the Falken WildPeak A/T on and they are probably not the quietest tire. Plus they had the tire pressure set at 43-45 psi.

I know I'm going to be happy with it. When I get more time and miles I will do a another review.

Recall done, seem to be working now. Photos of software version below. I don’t know it the from before

FYI for all, the previous Software Version was G2.2.0.1. I guess 2.3 and 2.4 were failures

My dealer in western Mass does does not have the update yet. Was wondering if it is rolled out in some areas before others.

My dealer had the update on 3/10. Just dropped my truck off now for another issue. Never ends! They are going to do the camera update as well. 2024s are on the lot again. I think the price is down about 1k. Still way above MSRP. More room to negotiate a lower price. They have a few 2025s. Man price went up! Hope Quality has.

took 2 hours today. 23 xlt. Still useless. Rear image looks dirty even though the lens is clean. Will have to investigate more.

Got it back this morning. HayBales You were dead on. I asked again why this can't be done remote and he said it was a dealer manager decision worried about screwing up a vehicle away from the shop and not having the resources there to fix it.

Note.....there have been SEVERAL already on this site that have had a mobile Ford van do the update away from the shop. There are even pictures posted of the interaction.

Yeah, my dealer is just paranoid apparently. I bet when they get a few under their belt they start doing it mobile.

I have it fix today, it was the back up camera recall

I have a 2024 XLT AWD. The truck currently has about 14000 miles. This freezing rear view camera issue started around 6-7000 miles ago. I ended up backing up into a trailer thinking that I had a bit more time to go while the camera had frozen in time and damaged the rear bumper and scratched the passenger side rear fender. I have a 2020 pp2 mustang, the quality of the camera compare to the one in the Maverick is day and night. It is flawless in the mustang. I thought purchasing the 360 technology package would have been as good as the one in the mustang, I guess not. I called Ford after it happened to report the incident, but at the time they didn’t have any recall as yet. I did create a ticket for incident.
Now, my question is who pays for the damage?

Not only is the dealer coming to my house, they actually contacted me to schedule. Must be hungry for that revenue stream!

They will tell you use your mirrors don't just trust great technology. We'll have to see if any of the members here tell you that. I've seen it many times, when someone brings up an issue what seems to be, a few Blue oval insider on here slam a person for it, place blame and razz them.

Called my dealer to schedule. They said not to have the recall done unless I was having a problem because if I had it done now and the problem showed up later, I could not have it fixed under the recall. Sounds wrong.
