Default Maple tree bark peeling

I've got a maple tree that was planted 2-3 year ago. The tree seemed
week from very beginning - the leaves were not as thick, they appeared
later and fell earlier. I was not sure whether that was a reason to be
concerned. Last year, however, I've noticed that the bark on the tree
cracked and is peeling. The peeling area is rather big - up to 30 % of
the width of the tree. The peeled bark is as dry as on a dead tree. Is
there something wrong with a tree? Should I treat it with something?
I know next to nothing about gardening and appreciate any info I can
get,
Sasha

Like the Paperbark Maple. It has beautiful peeling bark. Mine was a 2"
caliper when planted. The leaves were tiny little bits, but every year
it looks better.

Do you know to what extend would peeling be natural? In this case, not
just outside layer of the bark is pealing, but the whole bark is
peeling leaving exposed bare tree trunk. Looks very sick.

Is it peeling down to the cambium layer. That would not be right.
