Paint damage from hot water heater

My first time writing, so be kind. LOL. We just noticed some damage to gel coat, paint, and decals apparently from heat from hot water heater. Is this a common problem?
Although I've never written on this forum, I do read it almost daily so feel like someone somewhere has experienced this. In case it helps to know, it is a 2018 HR Navigator DP.
Also is this something i should expect to be covered in my warranty?
Thank you in advance.

I would think that is covered by warranty .. but I would take the bug screen off they will say that is the cause it's holding or directing the heat. I don't think it is a very common problem …. good luck

Did you put the screen on?
That is not normal, something is wrong. Take it to the dealer and have them figure out whats wrong.
