backup camera not working

I purchase this car not even a year and now the back up camera doesn't work. Its been broke for months now. Took to get it fix at Hyundai shop and they want over charge me $493 total. What I'm asking here is to Hyundai have a sympathy to recognize the problem and fix it instead of charge. I want a warranty. The camera is only 5 years old.

The backup camera shows just a blue screen. You can still see the guidelines on where to back up, but the rest of the screen is Blue.
