Welcome. If there not to major, you could lightly sand it and buff it out.

This seems to be a common problem with this generation of expedition. My sister in law has a 14 and it's doing the same. We also saw a number of used ones for sale with the same issue.

Here is a 49-page thread regarding paint bubbling and aluminum panel corrosion on Ford Expeditions: https://www.expeditionforum.com/thr...gister-a-complaint-read-fords-response.16012/

Ford was aware of the issue for many, many years and did nothing to eliminate the problem.

Bodyshop, sand and paint. Common problem as stated.

Poor girl scouts at their car wash rubbed paint off the hatch of my '07. Since that truck was black I just used rattle can "rustoleum" as touch up. I won't say a thing about my '17 for fear I'll jinx it.

I have a 2003. Sane BS. Ford issued a TSB. That's it! Bottom line; Ford doesn't know how to paint Aluminum.
