Bumper Defect?!?!?

Bumper Defect?!?!?
Hey guys,
So its been about 6 months since i've owned the car, and just before the winter season ended (a month after purchasing the car), i noticed that there is an area on the lower left of the REAR bumper that is bulging OUTWARD, about half an inch in diameter. I thought i should take it back to the dealer to see whats going on but i never got to it. So every time i look it, it seems to be getting slightly wider, now about an inch, and it has started to crack the paint. There is a body shop near my place and i took it there for a quick check the the owner told me that the bumper harness was not correctly factory installed, and so its pressuring the bumper.
So I took the car to the dealership a few days ago, and they tell me that somebody kicked the bumper or leaned on it...and so it they werent going to fix it.
My car is always parked in the garage, and rarely taken out, and when i do take it out, i park it miles away from civilization and keep the park time to a minimum...So there is absolutely no chance that it was caused by someone kicking the bumper or leaning on it .. i mean you can't even lean on that area.
Also, there is absolutely no sign of any pressure being forced on the pumper itself, anywhere.
I mean i've seen dents before on cars, but have never seen an area bulge out like this.
Given the car is only a few months old, would the dealership do something about this? I'm getting very sensative about it.
Thanks
