Edit - Ah, didn't realize this update is completely different than OP's. My bad.

The wording of the update I got is a little different but I got it yesterday:
Ford F-150 Lightning Priority Update - BCM-24.5.1 - Frunk Operation (Walk Away Door Lock) 1755684952348-oj

Camera is back to normal today

The bed camera on the earlier years have had issues with blue screens when they get hot (sitting facing the sun). Several threads on that - search blue screen. Yours wasn’t a blue screen though. If it happens again, note the conditions. If it might be heat related you will need to keep that in mind when convincing a dealer, i.e., wait until hot to show them.

Regardless, AFAIK the BCM has no interaction with the bed camera so this was very likely coincidental.

So got the update and... I'm noticing no obvious changes? What does this update even do? Disappointingly, the frunk does not close when the truck is locked unlike what the OP's update notes indicate.

Am I supposed to have WAL activated with his update? Received it 2 weeks ago but no change on that front. I also had the pseudo WAL update weeks before (sync 25.2.1.6.5)

It messed up my WAL from working reliably the past few weeks.
Hoping it gets fixed soon, I didn’t have the WAL menu toggle before, now I do and it’s activated but WAL no longer works. Ugh…!!

I thought it was supposed to give us WAL, but I've tested it several times and cannot get it to work for me. Tried with key fob, without key fob, at work/grocery store/home, doesn't seem to matter. I double checked I got the update, but it did nothing for WAL. I thought we only needed FORScan to enable the toggles for it, which I have not attempted yet.

Last Tuesday, this Frunk OTA bricked my 2022 Lariat. It has been at the dealership since. Got a call this afternoon that it's fixed. Asked what they found that was wrong. As is typical, they have no idea what happened.

Sorry to see this.

It is rare for this to happen but software conflicts have occurred with some OTAs. That's part of the reason Ford is so slow with their OTAs. They work very hard to prevent vehicles getting bricked.

Ford will probably put a halt to rolling out that OTA until the problem is identified and rectified.

This is the second time this year. First time was in January 2025. Dealer had it for 3 days. Picked it up and it failed again the next day. Back to the dealership for 4 more days. This time they had it for 3 days. And when I picked it up this morning the door lock and unlock functions aren't working. Before this latest repair i could unlock the door by pulling on the handle twice. And could lock the doors by pressing the button on the door handle. Not now. Called Ford Customer Service and they said this was because Walk-Away Lock is now on. But of course it's not.
I am really losing faith in Ford being able to fix this thing.
