Bubbles on rear camera 2026 Bronco OBX?

[soloist]

Hi guys, have any of you experienced this on your rear camera? It's a brand new vehicle, got it from the Dealership last weekend but before taking it back I just wanted to check if I'm missing something here since I tried to clean it and remove any protective film as well but I couldn't.
I tried all the safe options that ChatGPT gave me to remove those bubles but looks it's on the inside. How is it possible to be like this when it's brand new?

Does look like an issue on a UV or clear coat

Does it affect the image in the car?

Yeah, you can still use it but it looks pretty awful. Front and side cameras are crystal clear (I mean, you know, as much as these Ford cameras can, they are not that good anyways)

I don’t know of any “safe” option — if you were out of warranty I’d hit it with some scratch remover paste

but this new - take it in. Camera is an easy swap (good odds it already has been once for one of the recalls)
