Do you have the windshield cowl defect like 100’s of others of us? Wondering if water has been leaking right there from it? And yes, I would be concerned.

Alright, I'll admit I was wrong. That cowl defect isn't just esthetic...

At the risk of sounding stupid, doesn’t water splash into the engine bay when driving in the rain. Could just be a poorly painted part?

Just looked under the hood, I have the cowl defect. It is almost in line with that part in your photo. That part looks like cast iron. My truck only has 140 miles on it so could be a future problem. That defect looks like is only bulged at the top, the cowl looks flush below it..

I would definitely file a warranty claim. That is an abnormal amount of corrosion on a brand new vehicle.
