Default Right Front Intake Trim Fell Off

This is weird. I was just at the gas station and noticed that the outer glossy plastic trim piece for the right front air intake is missing. You can see the two sided tape is remaining. I did not hear anything like it coming off at speed and running over it the last few times I drove the car. I have no idea how long it has been missing. Has anyone else experienced something like this ? I guess a call to the dealer on Monday will be in order. I sure hope they don't deny a warranty claim. There is no damage what so ever to the surrounding area. It looks like it attaches with tabs that snap into holes around the perimeter and uses the double sided tape as an additional measure.

Not sure if it is serviceable separately, but appears to be #24. Hopefully (SHOULD BE) will be covered under warranty. A steep piece of plastic!
