Rust in Rear fan mounting

Recommended Posts

The rear fan mounting in my Kluger came with rust.

A replacement part was sent from Japan with more rust.

Apparently and issue with all Klugers.

Anyone else have the same problem?

There is an access panel rear-right hand side.

Picture is of replacement part sent from Japan!

That is a bit unusual. I would've expected that part to have some kind of coating, like zinc or something similar. Looks to be bare mild steel. 

Are you replacing the whole fan assembly because yours has a rusted mount ?

Japan has a high humid climate and if parts aren't stored correctly, those that are bare metal will surface rust.

You could just clean it up with some vinegar or deoxidine and coat it in epoxy paint.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Car was only a couple of weeks old when I found the issue.

Toyota have confirmed the problem is on all Klugers (and probably other cars) so I will wait for them to remove the rust..... Been 8 months so far......
