I have a 3 week old rubicon recon
Drivers side right under rubicon decal on white painted fender.
The white paint is yellowing from heat.
I open the hood and there is an in insulated metal tube that is emitting high temperatures.
In turn the fender is yellowing rapidly.
Any ideas?

Your dealer should send pics to Jeep for authorization to repaint the fender (this is the remedy). I recommend you notify @JeepCares for assistance.

Side rant: how in the world is this obvious defect with the paint still occurring after 3 years? Unbelievable.

Itā€™s been a problem I guess Jeep care offer me cash and keep and fix the fenders
Iā€™m not to happy with this at all after paying 59k with only 750 miles

@JeepCares same issue here. 2021 white JLU Sahara 1500 miles and a yellowing left front fender. It is ridiculous that after spending 50K+ I need to take this in for a paint job before needing an oil change.

It's a warranty issue and will be fixed. There are numerous threads on this. Take it to your dealer.
