Default cracked paint??

Does anyone have any cracked paint around the rear liscense plate??Mine did not but my fathers yellow has spyder webs on the top right side of the rear plate. The honda rep for my area said no warrenty work because there is no history of stress fractures. He did not even look at the car (it was only 7 weeks old at the time) after calling AMH they are making him come look at the car at least, but I wanted to know if anyone elde had this.Thanks

It sounds as if someone may have bumped your dad's bumper slightly. But I thought that bumpers had a additive in the paint that keeps the paint from cracking?

Honda paint on the bumpers have experienced cracking due to the flex in the bumpers. While flex agents are added to the paint, several people have experienced cracking or peeling in FRONT where it is next to the headlights. Sounds like the back of your yellow car may have been bumped by another car and so the cracks could be caused by that. Since its yellow and the paint matching for yellow is really difficult, I'd live with it if its not to noticible.
