There is currently a recall for the rear camera on this truck that Ford has yet to repair because they say they don't have the replacement parts. This truck has the 360 view package. There are cameras all around this truck and they all are getting cloudy to the point it's hard to see from any of them, not just the rear view camera. Ford is refusing to replace the other cameras under any kind of warranty/recall. I think that it's a matter of safety to replace all the cameras because they are all either unusable or nearly unusable. I use all the camreas alot because this is a big truck and there are alot of blind spots.
