Was inspecting my car, and I noticed that some of the paint peeled on the right rear side. What should I do in this case? There is no clear impact, or scratches anywhere else on the car..

It appears to be a paint defect. You'll just have to take it to a dealer for a warranty repair.

I have the same thing as AegeanT on the front seam. I thought it may have been caused by the 3M film installer but it looks like a somewhat common problem.

I know. The back bumper i noticed 2 days after i took delivery. Then the front bumper i noticed a few days ago when I was doing my daily walk around. Wasn't going to wait for it to get worse. My car is not even a month old and i would't expect this to happen on a 10 year old honda let alone a new one.

My dealership was very helpful though and they're going to repaint the bumpers completely. Itll take 3-4 days and theyre going to give me a loaner car in the mean time. Dropping it off tomorrow or Wednesday. I don't have any kind of paint protection film on my car yet (which i was going to get done in the next couple weeks), so I guess thats a good thing.
