I have heard of two CL's with rust around the rear wheel arches that are approx 4 years old.

My 2001 CL600 has some bubbling of the paint on front of right rear wheel arch ans some actual corrosion ( of aluminium?) as well as bubbling on the left side.

Everywhere else is OK.

My father-in-law has a 2001 CL55AMG with bubbling on both front doors in rear lower quadrant.

There should be a warranty for rust and corrosion protection from the manufacturer. I'd check with them. It's usually a pretty long warranty and outlasts the standard bumper-to-bumper.
