Paint Fading on all Plastic Panels!

I was detailing and waxing our 2021 Telluride in preparation for the winter ahead and I realized that the paint on all of the plastic panels of it are darker than the rest. Is anyone else noticing these issues?! Our Telluride only has 10,000 miles on it. I can only imagine how bad this difference will be after another year or two! I hope Kia will do something about this, although I'm not looking forward to having a vehicle that shows signs of being repainted when it comes time to sell it either :-/ Telly Rear Bumper Paint Fading.jpg Telly Rear Bumper Paint Fading 2.jpg Telly Front Bumper Paint Fading.jpg Telly Rear Hatch Paint Fading.jpg

Yes, I can see what you mean in the pictures. I agree, it can only get worse as time goes on. I would definitely bring it in ASAP and have the dealer make a warranty claim. I believe panels will have to be repainted. There is a specific paint warranty for the first 36 months/36,000 miles; its in the manuals. Good luck and let us know what happens.
