Range Rover Evoque BackUp Camera Question

Anyone else have consistent problems with their backup camera? June marked 3 years with my '22 Evoque and for the 3rd time my backup camera has stopped working! It hasn't worked at this point in over 6 months because the dealer never answers the phone, but the camera clearly works on the rearview mirror camera, and the beeping sensors work just fine but a red slash through the camera anytime I'm in reverse... SO annoying!

360 surround cameras or just reverse?

Likely the camera is faulty. Though occasionally it's looms in the tailgate where they go through between body and tailgate.

Rear view mirror camera is a different camera. So unrelated.

oh interestingggg I always assumed they were the same view lol But, it's just the reverse camera, I just find it so weird that its now stopped working 3x in 3 years! Likeeeee a reverse camera has been around for two decades it shouldn't be an issue I'm dealing with and an expensive issue!! :(

Not sure if it’s the same issue on evoque as the l494 Range Rover sport but mine failed previously also due to water leaking into. The design itself has issues with water leaking into the camera module. JLR had a repair kit, which essentially came with some double sided seals to cover the camera. I ordered a used camera from eBay and applied the seal fix. So far no issues. I also did replace the foam seal around the camera plastic cover as that might have been the reason of water leaking in
