Are you the original owner? If not, I'll bet the bumper cover was repainted at some point.

Nope,I'm the second owner. Carfax shows no accidents. But I do see a lot of red Accords with that same clear coat peel.
I put one of those on our 87 Honda CRX. When I took it off I found out it was a great trap for sand. It did a lovely job of sanding the edges right down to the primer in just a couple months.
OP,
Is the piece where the clear coat is pealing plastic or metal?
I have a plastic front bumper doing the same thing on a 2016.
so I can lightly sand the clear off and reapply? Seems like the paint underneath would get scratched???

It's plastic.
Means nothing. I've had countless bumper covers repainted for nicks and scratches.
Yeah same here as I can't begin to count how many Honda rides I've seen with clear coat/paint issues. Many not very old either. You'd think Honda could get that right by now.Better to have it on a bumper than on the roof or hood, as I often see on Hondas. It should not be a costly repair and can be DIYed as well with decent results since imperfections on a bumper are much less noticeable than on flat body panels.
By the way, good job hiding you license plate, but you missed one.
Just me, but I would do a quick DIY job.
