Normal Rust?

[trd-benji]

Hey all

I have a 6 month old toyota fortuner GXL model. Taken her to the beach 2 times with a massive water clean that afternoon and the next day. We do live on the coast. I noticed this under my car in the rear yesterday. My old man says likely not covered by warrenty. Am i best to sand it back and apply a hearty product? Will toyota be interested in sorting this out. Car 6 months old.

This is owner caused. No metal can resist sea salt for long without signs of corrosion. You will not be covered under any warranty in regards to this.

Repaint it and coat with lanolin or fish oil prior to use near salt.
