well...the saga continues .. the other day the forward view camera was acting up. Dim picture and inoperative on 360 view. So I called and scheduled yet another appointment at the dealer. The truck sat for three days when I was away for work. Came home to park and the reverse cam was inoperative again. I getting pretty fed up with this.
What does the SSM mean? When I take it in on Tuesday will there be some kind of special fix?
It means that Ford determined that the issue is with the camera, and therefore the dealer should replace the affected camera instead of performing diagnostics or replacing other components.
Specifically, the issue is with the connector on the camera itself; this is why pressing on the camera can sometimes cause the image to clear up.
Since the SSM was released, all service parts ordered by the dealer should be the updated design from the supplier.
