Painted bumper rust

ABSOLUTELY!
However, what they say may differ from my opinion. This is not a stone chip, it is body corrosion.
If it were me....I'd off that for a big ol F'-OFF Chrome bumper!!!!!

Yeah my salesman told me they resolved this in the newer trucks, another reason I no longer trust him. Mine is doing the same. Hope someone bumps me so insurance will cover it the painted bumpers are crap.

Exactly why I opted for the "chrome package" on my 2017! Had painted bumpers on my 2012 and it was nothing but a royal PITA... Live in terrible SALT country and every freaken chip started rusting fast. Guess that's ok if you like refinishing the bumpers every other year but not for me. Going on 2 years with my chrome package and NO rust so I'm happy with my decision.....

Too late now.....but 3M or X-pel clear bra film is a must for painted front bumpers. I don't bother with the whole kit because I've never had paint chips on the grill surround or the leading edge of the hood, only the painted front bumper.

I just didn’t expect rust like this on a painted bumper. The truck has never been in the snow and I live in California. I do have some stone chips that are rusting, but this looks like a flaw in the bumper paint job from the factory.
