I can confirm this problem is not exclusive to the 4-door models only; my 2-door Base has the same paint wearing problem as others described above. So far, only on the driver side door.

I currently have this happening, same exact spot. Ive been using a touch up pen the last few weeks but it inevitably still chips. Finally reached out to Ford today and they had me take it to a body shop to evaluate. Also noticed the entire sill has one long chip from the whole underside of the door. Will update when I hear back, itll be covered under warranty.
Just popping in to say this is still an ongoing issue. 2023 Big Bend 2 door, December 2023 build date. Ford is fixing it under warranty in a couple weeks.
I noticed it happening to the rear doors on mine a week or so ago as well. Front doors have no issue. 2022 Badlands, about a year and half old, 30,000km. Contacted dealer but haven’t heard back. Seems strange, as neither of the doors look out of alignment or mismatched when closed. Is this a design flaw?

It’s an assembly flaw, not a design flaw. Seems like the starting job for newbies is hanging and aligning the doors. Mine is off a bit but then the spear stripe was added afterwards so I’m leaving it as is.I noticed it happening to the rear doors on mine a week or so ago as well.

Yeah, could be.. it just doesn’t look like there’s anything out of the ordinary in terms of the doors are aligned. They seem to match up with all the panels. But if they match up, why the door to frame contact I wonder? Hopefully my dealer has a fix.
I can’t speak for yours, but both of my doors are not properly aligned and the drivers door is just barely touching the lower corner. Maybe excess paint build up on that lower corner of the door for yours?
the Ford bot will be here soon to ask for your VIN, because they want the customer to be happy with their purchase...
