My clearcoat is peeling on the lower front bumper starting in front of the wheel and creeping further up towards the rest of the bumper.
Pictures where taken at the dealership and Ford said it's not covered under warranty. Why is that??? New truck and this happens? Flawed paint job!
Anyone else here with peeling clearcoat issues?

Could have had a repair before you got it...maybe from shipping damage for instince. I would check into it more....or call Ford yourself. They will take care of it.

Its covered. There is no reason it shouldn't be. Take it somewhere else.

I have peeling clear coat on my 11 too. Mines on the back passenger side door, not the door it's self but the cab part. My dealer has taken a photo and has sent it into ford. Just waiting to hear what they have to say.

Is there damage besides the peeling paint? They don't just deny coverage unless they can see something in the pictures.. Post some pics up

Right^^^ this would be the only way they would deny it. Rock chip or something like that.

The front bumper may have been refinished. Were any repairs disclosed prior to delivery? If so, then the shop/dealer would be responsible. Please post photos.
