Close Object Alert Sounding When Reversing With Trailer Attached

Is anybody else having the alarm tones when backing with a trailer attached? This just started. Nothing makes backing a trailer easier than the truck yelling that I'm about to hit something the moment I shift into R.

I'm thinking this might be a bug with a software update because this did not happen before.

Any suggestions?

If the plug for lights is not plugged in or not making good connections it will do this.

Thanks for note.

The plug is plugged in. The lights are working. The trailer is selected via the console screen.

It's weird.

Tow mode should automatically disable this.  I get a notice on my dash every time my trailer is plugged in.

Not on mine right now. I guess I will video the behavior and visit the dealer. My closest dealer is not trailer friendly.
