Air filter got wet

You'd really need to submerge the filters to hydrolock. By any chance did you remove the plastic dividers on either side of the front grille opening and not reinstall them?

I didn't remove them because I know water can get into those spots when it rains.
The filter is not that (soaking) wet though, just a splashed of water.
