New Ioniq 5, rear view backup camera faulty

We have had our Ioniq 5 about two weeks.

Today the top 1/2 of the rear view backup camera has gone blurry over the top 1/2 of the field of view. Similar to when there is water or dirt on the camera, but despite cleaning it off several times, the problem persists. I figure either a faulty camera housing that has somehow gotten a water leak or condensation into it, or a faulty sensor chip. In any case our dealer is a day's drive away and we can't get it in to the dealer for a couple of months. Just wondering if others have experienced this issue.

probably water, it would make sense because camera sensors actually take an upside-down image (camera lenses flip the image), so if water behind the lens is on the bottom, it would show up on the top of the view

maybe just give it a few dry days to evaporate? after that maybe cover the cracks with clear nail polish or something to seal it up
