Backup Camera Replacement for Recall - Spare Tire Issue

Like a good Bronco owner, and against my better judgement, I had my backup camera replaced in my 2022 Bronco a few months back. Ever since the dealer replaced it, all I see in my screen now when I go into reverse is half of my spare tire and half road. I am lifted with 35" tires and a 0 offset. Never had this issue before the replacement. I have been going back and forth with the dealer who insists this is normal and how the view was before. Not the case. I also had to argue with them about calibrating the camera to align the dotted lines to not be disjointed. After 3 visits to the dealership, looks like that may finally be fixed.

To me, it seems like the camera is angled down more than my original camera. My husband has made the same comment about the one that was put in as the replacement for his F-250 recall.

Has anyone else had an issue similar to this and if so, how did you remedy it?

You're right that you shouldn't be having that issue (as you already know!). This is a stock Bronco height view, with original camera.

That is how my view used to be. Now I have this view. The dealer is telling me that my lift and tires were installed after they replaced the camera despite me showing them proof that is not the case. Today I was told to put a smaller spare tire on or do a spare tire delete. Definitely not doing either of these. It worked perfectly fine before the replacement and need it fixed.

Take a picture of the camera as it sits in the spare tire. Looks like it’s set back way to far
