You using the high pressure car wash often?

That surface under the paint doesn't look properly prepped.

I only pressure wash the wheel walls and undercarriage the rest of the truck is hand washed.

I pressure wash my entire truck everytime I wash it and dont have that. That part was repainted at some point with crap surface prep

Was that panel ever repaired or painted? Especially right under the headlight, it does look like poor prep or repair.

No never been painted or in a accident brought it brand New in 2019.

Since it is plastic could be too much flex, paint not mixed right for flexing, or any other issue. You can replace it pretty easy and I do believe you can get it already painted from the parts department.

No never been painted had it since it had 20 miles on it ,no accidents or body damage. It started out small then when we got this tropical storm on Saturday that's what it looked like afterwards.

It don't feel like it's plastic when I touch it or fiberglass but I'm going to take it by National Dodge on Saturday.

The panel may have been damaged then replaced and repainted prior to selling it

Its plastic, had mine off before. When its on the truck it feels very solid because of all the attachment points

Yes, part of installing the surround view cameras was removing those to remove the grill to install the front camera.
