Agree that it would seem really unlikely. Just trying to think of what it might be. Now that I recall the videos I have seen, I do think the body/chassis rolls thru much of the process separate from the hood. So probably not from anything being welded on the chassis.
How could that get passed the factory People. Paint claims take a while there not very common and have to be approved by area manager. Did they take a photo of it.I just gave my truck its first thorough cleaning and detailing and found a fairly prominent inclusion under the paint/clearcoat on my hood. I took it over to my dealer and they’re submitting a warranty claim to Ford to deal with it. I haven’t heard anything back yet (1 day later) but thought I’d share and see if anyone else experienced anything similar.
To address this, I imagine a body shop will have to sand the area back to metal and respray with primer, color, and clear coat, feathering it into the surrounding area.
I imagine the work will take a week minimum and am hoping to be given a loaner/rental during that time.
My dealership took photos and initiated a warranty claim w/o any nudging from me. Haven’t heard anything yet but not worrying.
