Cracks/gaps in new gladiator

[asuprice]

Gladiator is a month old and has these cracks and gaps in the paint. Is this normal or no?

My 2021 does not have those.

Doesn't look normal to me.

Just went out and checked mine. (3 months old -8000km)
No gaps or cracks.

Go and see what Jeep says. I will provide pics if it helps.

Looks like faulty welds but I’m sure a body guy can chime in.

Checked mine 6 months old 7500 miles no cracks or gaps.

Looks like the seam sealer (panel bonder) robot was being a little lazy the day yours went through.

Doesn't look body metal related, all those seams are in joints that have paint seal applied after e-coat and before top-coat. Picture #2 looks like application defect, #1 and #3 look like hairline cracks that could be not enough sealer?
I would definitely take to the dealer and have them fix this under warranty. Any water intrusion in the floor sill area in those sealer cracks and you'll have corrosion issues later on. Luckily it doesn't appear to be weld integrity. But let the dealer tell you.

Poor QA and lack of adult supervision strikes again. Bad paint job.
