Note: re-posted from accidentally in T1. I can't find other threads dealing with this specific corrosion issue.
Had my NVC 144 2016 from new 3.5 years and just discovered this issue of the dirt accumulation behind wheel wells (behind mud flaps to 2.5 inch depth - see photos). Known problem I see from a T1N post. I have a little bit of time/kilometres on my corrosion warrantee and emailed photos to my dealers attention, and they said they would open a file. I then followed up to ask what the next steps were, and a second time after that, receiving no responses. (this is covid times). I cleaned out the mud and sprayed the interior area that accumulates with "rust check" as temporary mitigation. See photos.
If 1/2 inch drainage holes and bees wax is the solution I feel they should rightly do that (even though I might prefer to do it myself. But that still leaves the corrosion and paint repair that I don't have the skills for.
My questions:
1. Given that my 4 year corrosion warrantee is current and this is a known condition, does anyone have suggestions on getting action from dealer, or am I possibly out of line here? Has anyone had a dealer fix this and what did they do?
2. Has anyone DIY fixed this problem and what did you do?
Thanks!
