Front camera malfunction, service required

[AugPal]

I was just pulling up to an intersection and I got this Alert, "Front camera malfunction, service required". It only stayed up for like 5 seconds and then went away.

I checked alerts on my Ford app and this alert isn't showing up.

I search the forum here and one other person has received this message

There are no bumps or dents on my front end and I always park way out in the parking lots

I also found this YouTube video on it happening on a F150


Some of the comments on the video are interesting like:

"My 24 F150 has been in Ford service for 10 days now with this problem n they can't fix it. New cameras, cables ,recalibrate nothing has worked. 5200 miles on it. This is an on going problem with Ford F150s. Ford doesn't have a clue how to fix it."

It could just be a loose connection on the camera or the IPMA itself.

The alert should show up on my Ford app and it doesn't. That bothers me. I think these Processing Modules are buggy or it's buggy software..

FYI, the camera is on the windshield behind the rearview mirror. Any debris or damage there could cause issues.
