Backup camera fell off

[MrSmile]

Closed the tailgate this morning and heard plastic hit the ground, then I found the camera housing on the floor and the camera in the tailgate. Would this be warrantyable jeep is 14 months old with 10k on the odometer

Yeah it should be covered under bumper to bumper. I have all the parts you need if they don’t cover it. But in Gecko.

I would definitely expect that to be covered by warranty. If the cover and camera aren't damaged and you don't feel like messing with the dealership however, the camera is held in place with a sliding retainer bracket inside the tailgate. Again, if nothing's damaged or needing replaced, it should be pretty easy to fix that yourself if you wish.

It is broken if it was old like my other jeep it would just get epoxy

Depending on how close you are to the dealership and, how long you want to wait? That clip is likely floating around inside the tailgate. There is an access panel inside across from where the camera sits. Taken out the bolts and re-affix. Done in 15 minutes.

Mine did the same thing after about 3yrs and it got the good old epoxy repair

Mine is loose. Not sure why it moves around in the hole. Maybe it's the yellow ones.

At least the front did not fall off.

Good thing too, 'cause then he'd have to tow it outside the environment.

Dealer ordered a new one should be in at the end of the week, it is considered all one piece (camera, clip, housing). Im going to epoxy the old one together just to have a backup, backup camera
