Paint Defect?

Ok so was drying off the truck and came across this little dimple in the paint. 2025 Rebel X the truck was ceramic coated back in march...there wasn't a mark on this truck. Its under the paint from what i can tell still smooth no dent or cracks at the surface...Any ideas?? Thx

Looks like a paint defect to me from your pics. How long have you had the truck? How sure are you that this wasn’t there when you bought it? Where on the truck is this? Is it possible that something struck the sheet metal from the back side?

I found a solvent bubble on one of the doors of the 2017 Rebel I bought new. I noticed it the first time I hand washed it after about a week of owning the truck. Dealership took care of it under warranty. They had the door repainted by a local body shop. I never had any issues with it after it was fixed.

My ‘22 Longhorn had the same thing from new, it was on the top edge of the passenger door. Didn’t see it until sometime later. Took it to a body shop, told me they would try to block it first, but said it may need to be repainted. It ended up being repainted, paid for under the warranty.
My ‘21 Challenger ScatPak had a paint shading spot on the right front fender. That was fixed (repainted) by warranty.
The latest is our ‘25 JG Summit. It had numerous paint issues which were mostly taken care of by the dealership detailer. There is still a “fisheye” spot on top of the hood.
But not all is bad as on my ‘23 HellCat——-Nothing!!!
So to the OP, it looks like it will be a repaint, warranty should cover it.
