Default Rustthrough Warranty?

Have an 08 Ultra. The bike appears to have some rust under the paint where the rear tail light meets the painted part of the fender. Like cars have a rust-through warranty period, do the Harley's?

If not, sand it down, prime it and repaint?

I you look at my attached picture, I circled in red where you can see that I added strong, but thin black fiber washers between the signal bar and the fender. I could see where there appeared to be a little bubbling started around the holes. I sanded, and repainted with touch up paint. I also undercoated the inside of the fender as well as the saddlebag filler strips.

Default Your warranty expired already?

Take it to the dealer first. Don't waste time waiting for responses here.

+1, if you still have the warranty, take it to the dealer, hopefully they will cover it. Hope it works out for ya.
