Funny....just in time.......
My 2019 has the bubbling problem that was present when I bought Tank last year. I was recently thinking of pulling the chrome tape off but havent as of yet....it's just chrome metal tape but if it comes loose/unattached, touched wrong will cut you like a razor blade.....
Now Tank is gonna get a new console !!!!!!
Was just looking at a Ford parts breakdown of the console....hard to determine if the affected part is separate or integral to the console........

According to recall, the dealership has to inspect this to make a decision. This console will be on backorder, I think. The question I have is: what if the owner paid for a replacement and had the new piece reinstalled? Will they get reimbursed? As for my console, it is starting to crack and will peel.

Ironic that $1.57 worth of chrome tape applied wrong is gonna cost Ford millions to fix.......

Yup! And add lawsuits galore.

Looks like the part is called Console Trim Panel and runs anywhere $250 to $300 depending on which dealer it comes from.
