Default Paint bubble and flake

I was washing and waxing this morning and realized that I had a small paint bubble that was beginning to flake in between the body and the driver's side headlight . I thought it was a water drop and when I ran the microfiber over it, the paint came off.

I only have 1100 miles on it, is this something I should go to the dealer for?

Has anyone else had anything like this happen?

Thanks, Chris

Of course you should go to the dealer for this. Based on the location they might try to say it's a rock chip though.

I'm actually still in Dallas, so that is very possible. But the way it is flaking, there is no way it could be a chip...I'm concerned that the bumper might be rubbing somewhere...
