Scratches/rust on frame behind rear wheels

[NJRubi]

I noticed recently that I had symmetrical scratches and rust on frame visible behind both rear wheels. Anyone else notice this? I have about 400 miles on it.

I read stories of problems with welds but this almost looks like something grabbed the frame from both sides during manufacturing... any advice?

Which other thread are you referencing? I’ve searched and haven’t found anything. If not surface rust what do you think that is?

That is rash from the tie downs when they transport it. They should be more careful but that stuff happens a lot. You could bring it up with the dealership service as a warranty claim, but all they are going to do is throw some spray paint on it and send you on your way
