They did a software reset at 28k miles in December. They told me then if it didn't work they'd then replace the camera (new Ford policy for all recalls ... test first then and only then replace with parts). Since I was at 38k miles the dealer wouldn't do it under warranty. They gave me 800 number for Ford. After an hour of arguing they "qualified" me under financial assistance (with no financial information from me so don't ask me how) and said they'd cover all but the tax on the $85 part. Whatever, right?
Well after 2 1/2 years I got a new camera. So far so good. What was weird about the whole thing was my dealer said my ST was not under the recall. Buttttt I would get a new camera under the factory warranty. I cant figure it out, but before I was told this (which was a big surprise), I was told by the same dealership that it was a recall issue and fixes would need to be done. It wasn't till a month ago that someone at the dealership figured this out.
I gather from all this that not all ST's fall under the recall???
The dealer just didnt want to put up with me any longer???
They just decided to just give me a camera and make up that story???? You know what Jimmy cracked corn & I don't care how it got done I'm just glad I'm done with that
So anyone still having issues and your warranty is still good or you have an extended warranty, maybe it might be better to go that route

Same for me worked about 9 months and started getting blue screen again. Had in dealership last week for software update. Guess what next morning blue screen again so now they’re saying drop it off again for the 4th time but no courtesy cars are available. Great quality for a $60K vehicle huh? I wonder what changed over the 9 months to get a blue screen and now it’s worse since the software update! Going to turn off the rear assist to see if that works. Anyone have any other thoughts? Funny he said I had the error code when my vehicle started at home but they couldn’t duplicate!
Been having the blue screen of death from day one. took it in multiple times. "sorry we can't duplicate the problem". here we are today 28k miles on the car. i took it in for rear bolt, camera failure, and basic maintenance. Apparently my warranty is expired. they said its been over the 3 years and they cant cover the camera issues. but i have multiple records show the ST has been in for this issue, do i have a shot for them to repair it even if its out of warranty since its been in there for this exact issue?

Mine had the random blue screen since I got it. It got the recall when it came out and it was good for a while, then the blue screen started again. This was about 2 months ago, and the dealer said since I got the recall, the next step was a new backup camera. Been all good since then! My dealer got a new service manager, and it's been better service since then. The old manager always said the typical "We can't replicate, so we're not gonna do anything". The new guy told me "We try to fix an issue by the book once. If you bring it back a 2nd time, we will replace parts and contact specialists until it is truly fixed."

I too had the recall done nearly a year ago.. only problem was they never filed whatever paperwork w/ Ford. So I still got another letter and have the notification in my Ford Pass app saying it needs to be done. Well, in the last 2 weeks I'v had the BSOD (not just a windows problem anymore 
) 3 times. Already scheduled an appt for them to 'redo' the recall/replace the camera. :/

I’ve contacted ford directly today and they will pump a call into the dealership in the AM. I’m staying calm about it until i get a hard no! Just want to see what your guys experience has been with this camera.
