I bought a new 2020 Silverado 1500 and the backup camera is set at an odd angle. It looks to be skewed to the left as you can plainly see an increasing amount of the tailgate across the monitor. I thought it would be a simple fix, but call the local Chevy service department to see if it is a common problem with a fix. I was told that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I know the camera is off-center in the gate latch handle, but it’s a little confusing while backing up since the guidelines are centered, but the camera is skewed. Also the viewing area seems magnified beyond what I would consider normal. Has anyone else had these issues?

Took my truck to the dealership today. They did a software update, which didn’t fix the issue, then replaced the camera, which also didn’t fix the issue. The service rep said he would call GM to discu

Thanks Transient.  My service advisor told me they had ordered a new bezel for my truck. Another trick you might try is to reshape the bezel. I believe you can  compress the bezel in the center enou

That is definitely not a software issue! It seems like the camera might have shifted in the tailgate button module. Ill take my tailgate apart tomorrow and see if there is any camera adjustment of any kind. (My camera is perfectly centered, but that seems rude of the service department to dismiss it as a software issue.)

The below information request would indicate this is a known issue:

I have the RPO QK1 tailgate mentioned in this bulletin. I am going to take a closer look to check alignment next time I back up.

This is actually an old version of it. The new version is 

#PIE0589A: Engineering Information - Request for Pictures On Rear View Camera Not Aligned Customer Concerns - (Nov 30, 2020)

 

We actually fixed on of these recently. Shim the left side handle retainer with a .50mm/0.02" flat washer

This isn't the repair for it in GM SI. But it will fix the concern.

I would like to know this also. I plan on going to another dealership, but it would be nice to direct them to a fix.

There isn't a GM fix for it yet.

I am having the same crooked camera issue with my 2021 TB with the QK1 tailgate.  It is at the dealership today being looked at and they are awaiting a response GM technical assistance for more direction.  They would not use the shim fix as noted above without permission.  Dealership did try to swap cameras but it did not fix the problem.  Does anyone know if GM has a fix yet?

Over the last year I have called the dealership a couple of times about the crooked camera issue since I first reported the problem. No fix identified. I called again today to ask if GM has a fix for the crooked backup camera yet. Apparently this is not a widespread problem as the gentleman I spoke with had never heard of it.
 

He did search for a bulletin addressing the problem, and found one. A manual software update is supposed to fix it . I’m taking it in to see if that actually fixes the problem. Will post again after the software download.

Hey odarevliS, keep us posted, I just called my service advisor to follow up with this.  I have have the same issue with my 2020 1500 Crew Cab since I bought it.. So at 0 miles this was crooked.  I will also post back with whatever happens with my service advisor/information.

I will. It’s going to be mid January now before I can take my truck in. You may find out before me if software will actually fix the issue. I should have asked for the service bulletin # when I called. I have searched for it since, without any luck.

Parrish, I believe the service bulletin is NHSTA #22NA136. Info I found on car complaints.com states that NHSTA has not published this bulletin but to request a copy from your a Chevrolet service department. The description of the bulletin doesn’t sound exactly like what’s happening with my camera. 

It says it’s “to correct a customer concern of Crooked Rear View Camera Guideline Image on Radio Display.”

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
