Blind spot error when hooked up to trailer

[RichardCranium]

My ford app keeps telling me there is an issue with the blind spot system every time I tow a trailer. I know the system shuts down when it detects a trailer is connected, but that doesn’t mean there is a problem. Anyone else getting these ford pass app pop ups whenever you tow a trailer. It is annoying.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

I don’t plan on taking it into the dealership over this. It is just an annoying popup on my phone whenever I hook up the trailer. I was just curious if it is only me or others noticed that too. The dash tells me that it is turning the systems off because the trailer is connected. Just seems like the FordPass app would realize the system isn’t working because the truck turned it off, not because there is an issue.

I get them as well when connecting the trailer.
I'm tempted to mute all notifications in Android. I don't think I've gotten one that's been truly helpful.

I have gotten 4 messages on my app for Blindspot detection system. All occurred on the dates I towed my camper. Truck tells me it had turned blind spot detection off because trailer has been connected. I thought that was end of story, but apparently app thinks it's an error.
