Chiles Are Brown on Top Instead of Red

My chile plants that I have had for years that always produced red chiles are now producing brown chiles. It kind of appears to be only where the sun gets on the fruit, for example on the top and not the bottom. Have my chile plants gotten some kind of disease?

Mine look kind of like that. I'm in hot Arizona and I think they are getting a sunburn. We have eaten them without problems. You might take one to a plant nursery in your area and ask them if you should worry.
