I think you are pointing to the silicone nozzle cover. It is a consumable. Melting is normal and OK. After a while you might like to replace it though. That is not normally needed very often, but it depends I suppose on the printing temperatures you tend to run.
In Canada, it is a $3 part. I keep a couple of them back.

@JohnInOttawa,
This is exactly what I was referring to. Thank you for linking me this doc!
Now that I know what it is, I can talk to my rep about getting a spare in the future.
I appreciate the help!
