Interesting......good catch. Looks like a good oil based undercoat will be required after all, even though I'm not driving it in the winter.

Bleh....I wonder if this is endemic to all units, or random?

Ive seen quite a few threads regarding missing plugs. Ive searched relentlessly for all of them, but I cannot seem to find any more information. Can anyone point out all the plugs that should have been installed in the cars so that I can check? The last thing I want over the next 5+ years of ownership is rust forming

This seems different from the plug issue. Is this a welding defect or just lack of undercoating, or both?!?!

In terms of rust - I thought all modern cars were fully dipped in some sort of sealant. You can find videos online on entire chassis on assembly lines being submerged in what I think is sealant.
Can anyone second the OP's finding on a different car?
