If the paint bubble is caused by a rust perforation from inside the wheel
well, you may be elligible for the 5 year corrosion warranty clause. More
info is available in your "Owner Information Guide" (not to be confused
with
the "Owner Manual"). Even then, it will depend on your warranty start
date.
It sure wouldn't hurt to seek out a knowledgeable service advisor at a
dealer and have the concern *****sed as far as coverage is concerned...
