Panel to refrigerator door

Hope I am in the right forum, Okay first off a S.O.B here hope someone can help.

We have a 2016 Montana High Country (5th wheel). Had it for 7 months now. When I went in recently the panel to one of the doors bulged out. It has the Stainless Steel look. To me I believe the panel was cut short and with the humidity recently had the cheap particle bulged. Oh yeah I put Damp Rid in. Anyway Hubby was trying to see if he can snap off the strips that frame the door but he could not see how it could be done. I said don't fool around with it since it is still under warranty. It is only cosmetic (I hope lol) My plan is take it out finally for some camping trips, and see if there is anything else need to be fixed. Then when we are done camping and before the Year of owning take to the Dealer. Do not want to go back and forth for every little thing. Plus they are busy now and wont get it back for camping when Hubby is able to take some leave.

Now if there is a way to fix it great. Has anyone hit this problem? TIA
Sorry don't know how to post pics from computer. Hope I explained okay. If I should figure out the pic situation I will post it.

Still under warranty, take it back and let the dealer deal with it.

Even though the panels look 'stainless' they are as you described 'cheap particle board.' They do little for insulating and no way to fix them. They can be changed to 'wood look' panels if so desired.

I wouldn't worry about them for the camping season.
If your dealer is busy till fall, just use the thing as is and get them replaced when it suits.

You might want to document it with the dealer in whatever fashion they so desire just to have it on record.
