Default 2016 Front Bumper Rust?

Hello - 1st time posting here and looking for some help. I have a 2016 XLT sport 4X4 which I have had for a little over year. I absolutely love the truck but one thing that had bothered me is the paint chips on the front bumper and front of the hood. The hood I have taken care of with a bug shield but the bumper I continue to get chips on a weekly basis. Now I'm noticing that the chips look as if they have rust stains in the potted marks. Is this chipping or what appears to be rust normal? Is this something I can take up with Ford under warranty?

Thanks

The bumper is made of steel and when exposed to the elements due to paint chipping it is going to rust. Not a defect or Ford's fault.

Refer to the document in post #3 of this thread:
