Issue: Rust On Brake Rotor Hubs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What: Rust develops on the rotor hub behind the center of the wheel.
Why: The MSPs came over on boats & sat on the docks for weeks. Not good.
How To Fix: Take to dealer & ask them to fix them. They will machine them down, refinish them, and repaint them for free. Keep in mind this is one time only and only before 12,000 miles.
