Covered under warranty?

So today I saw that the paint chipped on my truck. There’s also a small spot that it chipped from Idk how it even happened. Could something like this be covered under warranty? Truck is not even a year old since I got it off the lot new. 2017 Tacoma. Or if not covered, how can I treat this to prevent rust?

 

Dude paint chips aren't covered.

You can get a paint pen from Toyota to match the color.
Or just get a clear coat pen to go over it.

That's it.

 

Well I’m asking because I’ve seen some post that say it is and some that doesn’t. I’m just trying to see if it’s true or not

 

I doubt that would be covered.

 

People are having issues of rust developing in that area from a defect, which was covered by warranty. Yours looks like something was possibly dropped there and it chipped, not covered by warranty.

 

That’s probably what they have and I just got them confused. Thanks man.
I’m just gonna treat it so it won’t rust.

 

What area? OP didn't even say where. And the photo doesn't help.... Too zoomed in no reference.

Bottom line, chips aren't covered. Paint defects are covered. Paint defects happen at the factory, not once you've driven behind a semi on the highway. Thats where chips happen lol

 

Yup thanks for the info

 

That area in the photo looks like the door sill area. The others had the rust begin creeping out from under the sill itself.

 

He is correct. Door area

 

Holy shit hes got a good eye. I'm looking at the screen from like 4 angles trying to figure it out.

I actually thought I was having a ton of rust pitting on my truck (I got it in December) turns out it was metal bits from the snow plows getting scraped off on the road, sticking to my truck and rusting. Was an eye opener into what Toyota covers for paint.

 

What kind of potato did you use to take this pic?

 

That’s not a photo of his truck, it’s a airport security scanner image of a ‘personal’ item in someone’s bag!

Anyways, best advice here was to cover paint chips with a color matched touch up paint pen.
