Is it possible for fins to be separating from evaporator copper tubing in one year?

We have two Carrier split system AC units that are one year old. The environment is in Hawaii within 300 feet of ocean. We get a lot of salt spray because the waves break against rocks, not a beach. We had not been rinsing them off as regularly as we should until the last 2 months. A close up photo of the fins now appears to suddenly show the aluminum fins separating from the copper tubing in several places near where there has also been a white powder buildup. We have recently used acsaltremover on the units.
Is fine separation possible?
