Side wall bulges due to potholes are not going to be covered by a warranty,
unless you purchased a tire/wheel roadhazard warranty. You need to get a new tire though, as luke said it's just a matter of time before is pops.

Same happened to me. I was told that the steel belt was broken. If it's OE, no warranty. I talked to MB and apparently, there's no road hazard warranty to OE tires.

You should change it ASAP.
