I got my cameras replaced no less than 4 times.
Finally the car went into extended warranty period and I am getting excuses from the dealer
Side Camera failure and Camera system and and even rear camera system messages can be red herrings.
Took it upon my own and found a fix:

Open the front wheel well flaps.
Locate the connector to each front side camera.
push tab with a small screwdriver and disconnect harness.
Use hair dryer and aim at connectors for about 1 minute.
Reconnect, start car, test out the camera and park assist buttons.

Worked like a charm for me (till next time it pours I guess).
