Vulcanized whitewall question

For those of you who have wide whites that were vulcanized to the tires (Hurst, Diamondback, etc.), have you ever heard of a "bubble" under the white? I have some tires that I purchased from Hurst just before they went out of business. I had the tires mounted and there appears to be a small piece of the whitewall that wasn't adhered properly and I have a resulting bubble. It did not appear until the tire was mounted, and I'm thinking the pressure of being seated on the rim is pushing the white out in this location. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do about it? Ordinarily I would have contacted the manufacturer....but....I can't.

Thanks for any feedback you might have.
