Anyone experienced rust under front seats?

[SiFly]

We bought our LR4 a few months back (it was built in 2011) and I just noticed that under both front seats (if you were looking from the second row) the metal foot plates are really badly rusted.

Anyone else had that problem?

Yer RBA I thought it was weird too, even given the age of LR4 both having the same rust areas.

Looks like a material defect maybe when it was put together so wondered if anyone else has the same problem. Here's the photos from behind the driver and passenger seat.

I have simular rust spots on 2005 LR3..
