I have a new 2023 F150 Lariat and it has the 360 view when backing but sometimes I get a message that it is not available and to see the dealer. I bought the truck in December and this has been an intermittent problem that occurred maybe half the time I backed up. We went away for 2 weeks in March and now that we are back and I'm driving the truck again the camera has operated as it should with no issues.

Is this a common problem? I was going to contact the dealer near me after our vacation but if it is working what will they repair?

What should I do?

 

Intermittent problems are a bear for dealerships. Simply put, "it never happened to us so we cannot fix it".

My sense is that especially on new trucks, that perhaps have a low state of charge, is that the computer modules fail to boot up correctly. That triggers a warning message like you are seeing.

At your first oil change, have a note added to the service history indicating intermittent camera issue. If tech sees it you are in luck.
