Did they do the ceramic coating or did you have to do it? Reason I ask is there is no guarantee the fix will be permanent and certainly not covered under an additional warranty.
The dealer had it painted by a local body shop they use for this type of warranty work.

I had the ceramic coating done by a detailer I use. It’s expensive but it works much better than waxing. The ceramic coating creates a sacrificial layer on top of the clear coat. Car stays clean much longer than with wax. Water just beads up and rolls off.

Really glad I posted about this, I had no idea. It's a 2019 but I'm the second owner. So I'm right at the cutoff, possibly over. Is the 5 year warranty automatic or would that have been something the 1st owner or myself would have had to purchase? And do you think me being the 2nd owner affects anything?
I have a 2019 JLUR and 2nd owner that the hinges are effected on most. I put off and finally just on a whim called dealership and they said I had 2 weeks until warranty expired and they needed to get me in. I made appt and had them document. Next week I am to drop off and said will take 2 days at paint shop to sand hinges and repaint. If cant they will order new hinges. I printed the TSB for the paint/body shop. Need to walk around and look everything over closely.

Lucky! I called and am 2 months out of warranty. Not sure what my plan is at this point.

Just stumbled across this thread. 2nd owner of a '21 here and I had some bubbling paint on the leading edge of the hood.

Looks like it finally started on mine too. 😢
Going to have to take it to the dealer so it is documented and see what they will do I guess.
