Caliper paint failure

Hi All,
I noticed some of the clear coat is peeling of my front calipers. Anyone know if they're covered under warranty? The car has 15k miles.
Thanks!
J.

You should try for a warranty claim even though dealer may see this as wear & tear issue

I'm going to try and claim the repair under warranty for sure. I was hoping someone would share some knowledge they learned along the way. I'd love to hear the dealers "wear and tear" explanation

I have this issue on mine. The dealer wouldn't cover and said it was normal wear and tear. Pretty lame.

This happened to many people on w212 forum and about half the dealers replaced them under warranty or good will

Warranty. Don’t let them tell you otherwise. I had it happen on a 2014.

There has been people getting them replaced as good will, however it is mostly up to the service manager at the service department. If you got a good relationship with your service department, they can do it under good will, but again it will depend on the relationship with your service advisor/manager. You might need to visit other dealerships if yours can’t help with it.

Can you post a picture of the failing paint? I am curious of what to look out for.

Can you use a high temp clear coat spray to remedy that a bit?
