This actually goes all the way back to the 2005 model year. My previous 2007 and 2010 Mustang GTs had it, and I just replaced the hood of my 2009 Mustang Bullitt back in December.

There was an update to a previous TSB for the corrosion that was released recently. It says the following -

Quote:
This TSB supersedes TSB # 17-0062 to update vehicle model years.

Issue:
Some 2000 and newer Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles equipped with aluminum bodypanels may exhibit corrosion concerns appearing as bubbled and/or peeling paint with or without accompanying white dust.

Panel replacement is recommended.
