Rust bubbles under the rear tail lamps is a known problem @ the factory
Reason: There is a panel joint that has been bronze welded but poorly prepared inside the trunk. Moisture attacks from the inside seeping thru causing the bubble
Solution: Can be patched up from the outside but short term only and will re appear Permanent fix is to cut out the offending sections and re apply a panel piece, requireing extensive panel re spray & considerable cost
Bodywork is meant to be galvanised - which is probably the case but weld joints may not have been adequately addressed. Regarding warranty, probably country dependant but check your user manual. In my case only 3 years on body (many manufacturuers cover upto 10 yrs)
Regading the rear tail lamp problem, approach Maserati UK in the first instance and point out the problem - they should conbtribute by way of goodwill towards the repair. If you meet resistance, suggest go direct to Maserati S.P.A.
