So I might as well provide an update as well. I've started down the process of documenting a case with Honda of America for tracking purposes. I also talked with a local stealership and they mentioned that the Honda Passport had a similar problem and the recommended fix was to spray with some heavy duty rust inhibitor/sealant (I dont recall the name). I'm only getting surface rust on my subframe at the moment, but I'd love to have everyone document (take pics) this so that we arent looking around for proof later after we've sold our cars.
Additionally, I'm calling around in advance to some body shops to price out the replacement part which is very labor intensive and thats *if* you can find the part at all. I'll provide more details as my findings move along.
