The fact that it is covered under the 5 year corrosion part of the warranty. If your a second owner but have a sympathetic dealer can you get this fixed?
Or is it out of their hands.
Mine fix had to be approved by Ford so I am guessing it is out of the dealers hands. The dealership had to take pictures of the corrosion and paint bubbling and summit them for approval. But being you have a '12 you should have no problem getting it fixed under 100k miles/5 year rust policy.
