Trike....I think it's just as simple as the camera is not sealed very good. Water is able to get in but it's too small to dry out. I knew I wasn't going to be the only one that had this issue....BUT...I was surprised it took this long for a second person to post on here. Like I said...mine went blurry at less then 1000 miles on the truck. I looked today and I'm at 4800 now. It's obviously not going to fix itself. I'm going to take it in next week and see what they say. I was using the front camera quite a bit when parking, so I do miss the clarity. Can't see Sheet now!!!!

Ya. It's pretty bad compared to the un real clarity of my 2012.

Take it in and let them order you a new one. That's what we have a warranty for. No big deal.

Wolf...that's what I said I was doing for the front camera...several times. If you are referring to the clarity of the back camera...that's probably a whole different ball game. I don't think a new camera would fix the quality of the picture if it's the exact same camera.

Ok, I have the same issue, took it to the dealer, they said there was a TSB and replaced a harness front to back, but I still have the issue, what did you guys do to get it fixed?

I had the issue on my 2017 F450. Dealer ordered a new one. He said it was only dirty. Replaced anyway. No issues since.

At least I know it's not Just mine. I was waiting until my first oil change to get it looked at. I'm at 4300 now.

Mine looked just like that a few weeks ago and now its completly blacked out with white lines going threw it. I ordered a new camera and it came in today. So gonna try and get it in and see if it was just the camera.
