Default Rust warranty?

I got a small chip on my hatch in the corner and it began to rust. Would this be covered under the no rust warranty?

Buy some primer, touch-up paint, clearcoat, and sandpaper. Problem solved...

well if it's rusting because you had a rock chip, there's no way that's going to be covered. that's like if u ran behind a gravel truck and then try to claim that your hood isn't strong enough

just get some touch up paint

Actually Acura has a warranty verse chips....I got it....It's some type of coating they add on......Supposedly it's suppose to make the paint stronger....

It should be covered but it depends on the dealer.

I believe the rust coverage is for Rust going completely through the panel.
Surface rust on a rock chip wouldn't be covered.
