While it's commendable that you're using your rear view mirror or turning your head.
This is what the average 42" 5 year old child looks like standing 25 ft away from the back of your truck.

Needless to say your mirrors are pretty much useless, if a child is standing directly behind your truck.

This is one of the most important things I have seen on MTC. Thank you for sharing this!

Found out the hard way that there is no mobile fix. Dealer sent tech who spent 2 hours trying in my driveway. Now I have to go in next week. Get your act together Ford

Thankfully the 42" five year olds around here are above average.

I am at the dealer now, and glad I did not opt for the mobile update.

Ya mine was picked up and fixed sort of. After they dropped it off check engine light for abs brake or other driver assistance feature issue.

That's your dealer's choice - not Ford.

They don't have to send the newest guy with no training.
Another post the guy arrived without a formatted USB drive, which means package not downloaded yet either.
Yeah - all could have been done at the dealership while they did one onsite for training.
They chose not too.

It's your dealer. They are only getting paid so much for this job - if they can use their cheapest person they can make more money.
Until their shortsightedness causes a bad module upgrade, then a tow to the dealership if done remotely wipes out any profit or breaking even, and now they may have to use one of the more expensive guys back at the shop.

I agree but Ford should be concerned enough about terrible dealer service to do something about it.

I don't really use the backup camera much - I can still turn my body and use mirrors - but I understand it's a legal safety issue so I scheduled with my dealership. I was there for exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes. I was prepared to wait for hours. But nope - done! Zeigler Ford in Plainwell, MI. The only change I've noticed is that my Apple CarPlay seems to connect faster -- WINNING!

Kirsten,
I still turn and use my mirrors a lot.
Thing is on a Maverick a 4 to 6 year old child standing directly behind your truck has to be 25 to 30 ft away in order to start to be seen.
Any closer than that you will not be able to see them using your mirrors if they're directly behind you.
This is what you see of a 42-in child at 27' behind our Maverick's using just your mirrors.

The Ford mobile service tried to do the backup camera recall for my Maverick today and the tech gave up after unsuccessfully trying to install it 5 times. Get your act together Ford!
