I have a 2010 Toyota 4 Runner -I had the same kind of paint peeling problems that everyone is describing. I also received a letter about a year ago from Toyota stating they were aware of the problem and they would notify me when a solution was decided on. I never heard back from them but started to research on line and found that Toyota was starting to paint vehicles with the peeling issue. I called my local Toyota store - they confirmed my vehicle was in the "enhancement" warranty and I dropped my car off. They took it to a body/paint shop and got an estimate and the approval from Toyota. 2 weeks later I picked my car up and it was completely repainted. Happy about that.

But - my mother has a 2008 Toyota Rav 4 with the exact same paint peeling issues. On line it says that the 2008 Toyota Rav 4 is included in the "enhancement" warranty but when I called the Toyota store and Corporate Toyota they said it was not. The Corporate Toyota representative said that although it is a 2008 that the production date of the vehicle was October of 2007 and that is why it isn't covered.

Seems like a sneaky technical way of getting around not having the vehicle covered for the very same issues the other vehicles are having.
