Exhaust pipe Rust in 2017 RDX

I just took delivery of 2017 RDX ADV on July 2, 2016. However, 2 days ago I noticed rust under the car. Please see attached picture. Is this normal? Planning to take it back to the dealer.

Spoiler alert: it's only going to get worse, you live in the New England area

the exhaust system itself is stainless steel, but the flanges are not. will rust, but its just surface rust and does not effect anything at all.

I believe it's the same for a majority of the cars. That should not be a problem at all.
