All - installed the draw-tite hitch on my vehicle today. While under the car I noticed two things that are concerning me - please let me know if the concern is warranted or not. By way of background I have a 22 premium extended range. It was picked up from dealer in mid October 22. As if today, my car only has about 1370 miles on it. It is always parked in a garage. Iive in New Jersey, and there hasn't even been much of a winter yet.
Concern number 1:
The picture below is of the arm that extends from the rear electric motor to the wheel. There is an orange substance on the cylinder that is closest to the motor and a lot of this substance at the part where the arm meets the wheel. It look like rust to me but I'm no expert. What do you guys think? If it is, is it normal to have this much in those areas for a car that is this new ?
Concern number 2:
On the back of the battery casing, unnoticed this brown substance? Is this normal? Is that some sort of sealant?
