Forward facing camera cloudy

The forward camera on my truck is showing very cloudy, like it would be dirty or something. I cleaned it but still doing the same thing. Anyone else have this issue?

Yes. I think the camera is not well sealed and moisture gets inside. Mine goes from cloudy to black. Waiting on the dealer to receive new parts.

Mine had this problem a few months back. Dealer replaced the camera under warranty. Hope it doesn't reoccur as now my warranty period has ended due to mileage.

Same here

I have had the same issue here with both the front and rear cameras. A truck I test drove had the same issue with not just the front and rear, but the side cameras as well. The next one I am expecting to have an issue with is the one mounted in the mirror as when cleaning the exterior of my windshield I noticed how cloudy the glass was in front of it, and I cannot access that part of the interior of the windshield without doing some surgery inside the truck.

There hasn't been any recall, but it a somewhat common issue. My 2017 just started doing it at 21k miles. If you're in good with the dealership they may pull some strings to get it done out of warranty since people have been having this issues since the 17s first came out. I wouldn't count on them getting it done for free, but it never hurts to ask.
