2011 SD chrome package grill

I have a 2011 F350 DRW, 6.7 diesel Lariat with Chrome package and FX4 packages.

While cleaning the truck today, I noticed that the huge Ford logo on the grill, had, what I thought, was a clear protective cover over the whole logo. It looked like the clear film that comes on new glossy parts of electronics, or on the screen of a cell phone or something. I thought this because, there were bubbles on the edges of the left and right ends of the oval. I peeled the bubbled part off thinking that the whole cover would come off, but now I don't think it was a removable clear cover, because the clear film just broke off and now there is a rough edge of the clear coating. I am hoping that Ford will replace the logo. It is very minor, but I paid extra for the chrome package. Has anyone noticed something like this on their 2011 grill? I imagine the logo plate is the same on all grills, not just ones with the chrome package.

Its a common problem. The emblems have always had issues when exposed to heat and just over time..

Thanks, this is my 4th F series since 96. I either never noticed it before, or it just did not happen to the others. I also never kept them as clean as this one. I just love this truck, and since I don't drive it everyday I keep it in good shape.
Thanks for the reply!
