There's a TSB out there somewhere for this.
Basically, there were an unknown number of improperly prepped hoods @ the assembly plant. the spots you are seeing are from iron flakes that got trapped under the paint.
It's oxidizing the metal, causing the paint flaking

You should have a 5/60 warranty against corrosion... Take it to the dealer for repair.

It is not iron flakes under the PAINT. If that was the case when they repaint it the corrosion would not come back. My car is in the shop now getting it repainted for the 2nd time. My dads 2006 mustang had it repainted 5 times and it came back so we sold it.

Its not just the hood seam, watch your door skin seams too.
