2019 Mercedes GLE 43 AMG Coupe camera issue

I have a 2019 Mercedes GLE 43 AMG Coupe and just had my original grill replaced at a body shop, upon picking up the car, I noticed whenever I try to park the car, the straight while lines in the parking lot doesn't appear as a straight line on the camera (see the picture where circled in red). Is there any way to fix that? It was not like that prior to the grill upgrade.
Thank you

Probably just need to have a dealer recalibrate the cameras.

Great idea, thank you. In addition to that issue, let's imagine there is the curb in my right and a car on my left and I am going into the parking space. The camera shows the car next to me and the white parking space line both in a very distorted way. Which camera(s) need to be re-calibrated in your opinion?

I think some distortion on the left and right sides is pretty normal. Even on the new S-Class the views can sometime be distorted. See this part of a review (at 11:49):

Thank you for your reply. The thing is I've had this car for 2 years now, it never had this issue before. I tend to rely on my cameras a lot to park, I'm sure if it was this way I would have noticed it before.

In any case have the dealer recalibrate them and it may resolve everything. Could also be a software update they can apply to improve things.

Thank you, I made an appointment to take it to the dealer. Now I hope the warranty covers it and they don't give me a hard time because I upgraded the grill.

I don't know if this is useful information for you but I was at a quality body shop a few days ago to get an estimate on painting some minor driver door damage. The body shop included in the estimate recalibrating the 360 view cameras. This has to be done as he will be removing the front bumper cover. I'm mentioning this as most good body shops can also do the camera calibration. Might be worth looking into to save some money...

Thanks much for the tip. The body shop owner told me they had a crew to recaliberate but since the camera was not removed, he didn't have to ask them to do that. I really hope the dealer can find the issue. My car is still under warranty but not sure if they will cover that since I replaced the original grill with a different style.
