Anyone ever seen rust - lots of surface rust, on the interior brake and gas pedal brackets of their D-Max?

Our one year old D-Max (18,000 miles) is stored under a carport and there's no other rust on the interior or exterior of the vehicle. This is very strange, as though the brake and gas pedal brackets were never prime-coated, and now the rust is bleeding through the black paint.

Kind of odd to open the door of a pristine truck and seeing brown rusty pedal brackets - just looking at the pedals you would think the truck is ten years old.

My 03 cc dw is doing the same thing.Could'nt figure out why my white socks were turning orange,then one day while cleaning the truck I noticed how badly rusted they are.

They are not treated metal, just bare. Same as the dash supports.

Mine too! and I have found water driping from the brake pedal several times in the winter/spring when it rained hard but can;t figure where it comes from.
