I have had the 2024 JLU Rubicon for a month now and I’m getting paint cracking and flaking at the body seams below each door. Just curious if anyone one else has seen this problem. It looks as though poor prep and the paint at these locations just can’t hang on. Let me know what you all think.

Looks like it got flexed on the body weld. Would be back to the dealer and have them fix it. Hopefully the weld is not cracked or such and just paint was thin on that area.

not sure how the body/frame would have flexed to break a weld at 4 locations. Jeep only has 1900 miles on it. But thanks for the thought.

Paint seems very thin there. Depending on how long the dealer will take to fix it, I'd maybe consider getting some color matched paint and doing it myself.

I disagree with the body frame flex . I think it's poor paint prep in those areas .
