Hood paint bubble (rust) TSB?

RE: Hood paint bubble (rust) TSB?
It's called Corrosion.
Aluminum isdefinitly prone to it.
In fact, salt water does a nasty number on Aluminum.
In our case with our cars/trucks, it's a bad prep from Ford. Or a contaminant in the etching primer, rather.

I'm confused, I thought the hood was aluminum. Aluminum doesn't rust!
Also, someone said something about a recall, recalls are for NTSB saftey issues, not stuff like paint and rust.TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) as one poster said, it's for known problems and what the fix is, not a guarantee that Ford will fix it for free, unless it occurs under warranty.
I agee that regardless, the dealer should fix it,due tobad factory prep before the car was painted (I'm thinking oil, or some kind of solvent on the hood).
One final thing, the 6/60 rust warranty only applies if the metal is rusted through, it doesn't cover surface rust, "been there experienced that" LOL.

It can vary from just a few bubbles under the hood lip to severe bubbling on the outside of the hood.
