rust bubble? what next

[modeler]

It looks rust bubble on door, all at door hinge, both sides front.
what do i expect when talk to dealer? the car is 2020.

Didn't notice it before, thought was weld, but what hell weld at bolt point.
Where else I should check prone to rust bubble?

Read all 130 pages or so about the corrosion issue. You can expect a hassle when speaking to the dealer. Some people have had it taken care of but others getting the run around.
I know myself when I had my Mojito that dealers wouldnt even look at it for months.
Some dealers said they would only service customers that bought there.
i eventually sold mine because the bubble issue over the exploding clutch was too much to handle at the time. But Ive seen posts of some remedies to help stall The corrosion.

good luck

This is actually an extremely common problem. It's hinge corrosion.

The corrosion can start after a year. Jeep has TSBs on these issues for Wranglers and Gladiators. They keep updating it to include every year and won't change the manufacturing process to prevent it. It falls under the corrosion / rust warranty and they cover it. But if you're out of warranty, you're out of luck.

i guess my sarcasm didn't come across very well in print considering its probably the single most common issue on our jeeps and discussed ad nauseum

Anywhere that there's an exterior hinge is susceptible. Some people have also had issues around the pinch seam on the door edges as well.

Take it to the dealer and pray for a speedy and painless resolution, but don't hold your breath.

Got first bounce back, the local dealer said they don't have body-shop hence refuse to estimate the defect. Got to try a few more to see

It's this issue that has us watching closely what the redesigned 4Runner and/or new Land Cruiser will be as they likely come out in the next year, just in time to unload the Wrangler before the warranty expires.
