Hello,

Is it normal for the wheel hub and axle to have rust? My Highlander is 2019 and just got it recently Oct. 31st. When I had the all-season tires(original) changed to winter tires mounted on a separate rims( not the original rims), I noticed on all wheel hub and axles there are rusts in it. The SUV is brand new. Is this normal or I should go back to the dealership to complain? I live in Toronto, ON Canada.

Happy Holidays!

Rust will form on brake rotors just sitting there in humid conditions or rain. Has done so on every vehicle I've owned and on the aircraft I've worked on. It wears off pretty much immediately upon brake application.
