Default paint flaking

I noticed that the paint is chipped of and is starting to flake on the pass. wheel well. Its behind the tire where all the spray hits it from the tire.
Any thoughts on this?
I'll probably take it to the dealership its only 6 months old with 7000 miles

My Z71 has a adhesive clear film that is attached to the same area I assume its because the factory knows a 4x4 will be slinging up stuff. If someone develops this it was my idea. All $$$$ tips will be accepted
