Replied by lightning on topic Gen4 rust

l think you have to bear in mind that surface rust on a bracket will probably occur on low cost mainstream cars where these parts are just painted metal.

There's a big difference between surface rust and actual corrosion. Has anyone actually seen a spare wheel bracket corroded to the point of needing replacement?

Having said that, l would still want to paint it, or get the dealer to sort it out.

But l wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Just look underneath any car over three years old, at the rusty pressed steel suspension parts and various brackets covered in surface rust.
