Rusty Calipers and rotors, advice?

I just looked at my calipers in the front and there is rust on it, pretty ugly sight on a 50 000$ car, my 30 000$ gti didn't have rusted rotors nor calipers, is this something that can be covered under warranty?

My local Acura dealer brushed the rust off and repainted them with a high heat engine silver paint to match and they look brand new again.

Anyone have a link to the tsb? I complained about my hubs at an acura dealer in Austin and they told me there was no such bulletin! I can't wait to prove them wrong!

If you read the thread linked a few posts above, an Acura tech states there is no such TSB (at least the date he made the post).

I have read that thread. I was refering to vinnier6's post above where he states that there is a tsb. I was hoping it was true and that he or someone would have a link. Guess I'll just have to live with rusty hubs
