Could be the heaver license plate holder (If it is metal) and vibration on the rear deck lid area causing the fracturing of the paint.

I have had no issue with the paint on my 2019. I only have a license plate and no holder/cover.

Could be just bad paint bonding to the fiberglass/composite in that area.

The 14’s had some paint issues on the fenders so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same issue

The 2019 Triglide I purchased had that problem and the original owner had it re-painted under the warranty..
