I had been noticing a weird object on the camera when i was parking in recent weeks. I just assumed it was dirt on the camera. but after washing the car this weekend, and it remaining, i realized it's a chip and crack on the lens of the front camera.
it's not really a big issue for me, as i can still see well for the most....but i'm not sure about how the safety features work with the sensors and cameras.
Nothing has happened yet...
But i'm wondering if i should get this replaced. And if so, would this be via insurance or a warranty claim for its "failure"

anyone have experience with this yet?

I would definitely replace it as safety systems likely rely on it especially if it’s the front camera . Warranty should cover manufacturing defects but external damage from rocks etc. sounds like more of an insurance possibility.
