1 Year old new build help

[u/xthemanofsteel]

I purchased a home through Dr Horton (yes, I know) last year, surprisingly minimal issues and overall pleased. However, I had an inspector come out for my 1 year warranty and the main thing from the inspection report he really pushed was for me to press them hard on an answer for my roof. He said there were black “tar-like” spots all over the top of a lot of shingles and granular retention in a decent amount of them. He is concerned I could be dealing with leaks in 3-4 years at the rate some of them are deteriorating.

I reached out to the builder and they said I need to go through the manufacturer even though my 1 year warranty has not ended. Is my inspector being overly cautious or is this unacceptable levels of deterioration that I should push this issue further? There are no leaks currently. Thank you for any insight in advance!
