2023 Ford Bronco — windshield replaced — does camera calibration matter? — New Jersey owner question

TrailBuyerCommunity StarterJun 19, 20262023 Ford Bronco BadlandsNew Jersey
2023 Ford Bronco Badlands, about 11,000 miles. A new windshield is installed and there is no dash warning, but the shop recommends camera calibration. If the manufacturer procedure calls for it, would you do it even when lane-assist functions appear normal?

Ask what changed right before it started. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2023 Ford Bronco does it — then decide on parts. Save the big job until that test fails. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2023 Ford Bronco catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. That's the branch I'd chase this week. On “windshield replaced — does camera calibration matter?,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Cleared nothing. I want service to see the alert on the 2023 Ford Bronco first. Checking again after work.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Capture voltage while the 2023 Ford Bronco is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Stop there until you know. Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.
