I'm not sure if they would, it kind of looks like that spot reacted to being in contact with perfume/alcohol/solvent of some sort. I've seen it happen to a car my parents had (when my mother placed a potporri bag in the parking brake handle well).

But it wouldn't hurt to try. If all else fails, could do a 3M DiNoc carbon wrap (I think that would look pretty nice).

I'm going to have to agree this looks like a strong solvent was dropped on the part in the picture. The paint is crinkled and lifted. If it was a spider web crack I'd say paint defect but not lifted. Good Luck take too a dealer see what they say.

There is a line in the warranty that say Items not covered. Appearance items that were not a defect in material or workmanship.
