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.”

Yes sir, I believe you are right, crooked 'GUIDELINES' .  It's absorbing in darketh head now... hehehe..  Thanks for the clarification.  I have informed my service advisor and she's looking into it now..   She's pretty open to things like this.  I'll definitely post back when I follow with her in the next day or 2.. Thanks again. 😉

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

I have the same issue.  When I bought my truck everything was perfect.  Maybe it's a software update?  Maybe it's because I'm a fatass and while standing on the tailgate with it down the plastic piece with the camera and push button to open popped out on one side?  I think it's the former because the latter happened a few times and I just popped it back in and the camera was fine until one day it wasn't.  Anyways, if love to hear what you guys find out.  My truck will be going in for an oil change in about a month and I'd love to get this annoyance fixed, too.

Thanks for the update.  My truck will be going in for an oil change soon.  I have a number of things that need to be addressed, this being one of them.  Sounds like I'm going to be cursed with this problem for awhile.

Alright, so my truck is in the dealership's hands for an oil change and 22,500 mile service.  I asked them to look into the reverse camera issue.  They called me today to give me an update.  Routine service is done.  Dash camera (GM Accessories Thinkware F800) system is being roads under warranty.  Thank God I had the dealership install that one.  As for the reverse camera, tech looked at the bezel and even played with it to see if he could align the camera.  Unable to fix the problem.  Tried doing 2 different system updates.  That also didn't fix the problem.  This matter has now been escalated to GM.  I'm not expecting a miracle, however I figure the more of us that get this escalated to GM the more likely they are to offer a solution.

Just a quick little update.  I spoke to the dealership about the progress on my truck.  Regarding the reverse lines, GM Tech2 (iirc what the dealer told me) has not responded to the dealer.  It's been 2 days since GM was contacted.

Thanks for the follow up. I have not heard from the dealership since the service rep called on the 13th to tell me that he had emailed GM on the issue asking for guidance and is waiting for a response.

My dealer just called me.  They said GM responded and they believe it's not a software issue.  Dealer was instructed to swap tailgates with a unit in stock to see if maybe the tailgate is warped/bent.  I told them if that's the case then I don't know how it would have happened.  I've never carried a heavy load in my truck, and the heaviest thing that was on the tailgate was my big butt.  Tailgate is allegedly rated for 500 lbs, and I'm obviously well below it.  We'll find out what happens tomorrow.

Update:  SOLUTION FOUND!  Dealership had a 2nd tech look at the problem after swapping tailgates.  GM was ready to pay for a whole new tailgate, painted and installed, but that was avoided by the 2nd tech.  The swapped tailgate proved it's not a software issue.  It's mechanical, specifically the bezel.  Dealership had a replacement bezel available and installed it on my truck.  Camera is now straight.

Transient, 

I started a reply to your previous post about it possibly being the tailgate, and got distracted and forgot to post it. The possibility of the tailgate being warped made sense to me.
 

I started looking at my tailgate and noticed right away that the bezel was bowed out, noticeably, at the top center. You could probably easily drop a dime through the space between the tailgate and bezel. 

 

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll share this with the service rep at my dealership.

Glad I could help.  Unfortunately, I discovered tonight that the reprogramming done by the tech per GM's instructions has now caused me another problem.  I had the factory navigation that is in the LTZ and High Country trucks added to my truck via MVi.  I've now lost that navigation system.  I've already sent an email to my service writer.  I'm about to contact MVi regarding this issue to see what my options are.  I really hope I don't have to pay this upgrade again.

I’m purely spitballin here. If you bought the MVi app, you probably have rights to continuing downloads/updates until the version you paid for is no longer supported. Good luck with getting this resolved.

Did you have any success?

 

The trucks bumper in your picture makes me wonder if the camera is correctly 'snapped into place' -- and that left and right aren't sitting the same way. 

 

I'm just guessing that they 'snap in' as opposed to using some sort of threaded fasteners, but either way a physical mounting issue.

 

I supposed it could also an issue with how the sensor inside the camera is located rather than the mounting of the camera to the truck. 

 

 

EDIT -- read Transients posts his was an issue with the bezel 

 

Curious if yours (Parrish Mooneyham) was the same.

For the navigation upgrade I had to send them the module from my truck, they programmed it, and then they sent it back to me.  They did provide a loaner while they had my module.  The loaner and the shipping has a cost of $465, but they refund $400 if you return the module without damage.  I have already contacted MVi.  They said they need to look up my previous order and will get back to me.  There other people in front of me.  No word on cost yet.  Just gotta be patient. 

 

I should start a new thread about this issue instead of hijacking this one.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
