I also got this. I have noticed rust forming inside of the frame rails. I have a 2010 ls swapped coupe and a 2013 2.0 and got letters for both. I'm nervous that the dealer will do a **** job undercoating and if there is already rust my guess is they will just blast over it with undercoating and make it worse. I doubt they will even let the ls swapped one in but I may give it a shot. I'll see if they will do just the cavity wax and no undercoating. I plan to go to the Dealer in a couple weeks to talk to the dudes that will actually doing it to get a feel for their intelligence.

I tossed it in the trash. Pissed me off. My car is 12 years old and now they want to do something for rust? No thanks. If it's already rusting the only way to stop it to kill, or remove, the rust.
Mine's not rusted. It has "lived" in central VA all it's life and never goes out when the roads are bad/salted (yeah, it happens maybe once a year, in a bad year two or three times). It stays in the garage when not being driven.
Anyone who lives and has to drive where they salt the roads knows how bad if makes vehicles rust. So do the dealers and the car companies. Waiting a decade to off to treat cars for rust is a decade too late to stop it before it starts.
Reminded me of the dealer making excuses for not taking care of the start up rattle issues on my 3.8 while trying to talk me into transmission/cooling system flushing/refilling that costs hundreds of dollars at 1/3 the miles recommended in the owners manual.
Drove my Coupe yesterday. Still fun, after all these years.

On my Accent the rust started at the seams. Whatever they used as a sealer failed. A couple of places the paint bubbled up, one on the hood. But the Gen Coupe is pretty good. I don't drive it in the salt though they use the calcium chloride water mix and It's been in that.
Last summer I painted the rear subframe and anything else in the area with a big fast spraying can of Rustoleum. It had some surface rust. I've had brake lines and PS lines rust out and will always paint them sooner or later when I can get to them.

Preach, 👍I tossed it in the trash. Pissed me off. My car is 12 years old and now they want to do something for rust? No thanks. If it's already rusting the only way to stop it to kill, or remove, the rust.

When I purchased my 2014 3.8 Ultimate new the three gauge faces came pre scratched from the dealers shitty P.D.I.
They ordered the parts and replaced the lenses but returned the car to me with a cracked in half stereo/climate control surround and the tabs on the auto shifter surround were broke off and the surround sticking up. I pointed this out to the service manager and they ordered and eventually replaced those parts as well. Needless to say they've (or anyone) has never laid a hand on my coupe since then, ( not even for my included free oil changes for life), and they never will. Way to chase away customers huh?

They told me when I scheduled it in person that if the rust is bad enough they're swapping frames for free as part of the recall. If not than at least the dealer I went to isI also got this.

I'm starting to get rust bubbles in the paint. I have a really bad one on the tip of my hoodOn my Accent the rust started at the seams. Whatever they used as a sealer failed.

There's some stuff you can get (parts stores and Amazon) called Fluid Film.
The guys on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forum swear by it. Many of them spray their truck frames/bottoms every fall before winter.
It's a sort of waxy/oily stuff made from sheep's wool. Been around for 50 or 60 years. Bio degradable, environmentally safe, etc.
It says, on the label/description that it will penetrate rust and work it's way to the metal surface beneath the rust and seal the metal off from the rust.
I'm not saying it works. I do know people who swear it works. I've sprayed it on the bottom of my new F250 once (year before last). My truck only gets into the bad weather/salt a couple times a year. So far it looks good.
Takes a lot more for the crew cab 8 ft. bed F250 than it would for a Coupe or other small car.
They say it will wash off eventually and that's why most who use it spray it on every fall before the snow starts.

Also got the letter about a week ago. Noticed rust bubble, glad that it will be fixed free of charge.
