Angry Rust Problems

Does anyone have any info or had any experience with rust prematurely showing up on the seams at the bottom of the doors and tailgate? I've got 25K on a garage kept 2000 F150 (babied reglarly) and I'm starting to see rust! Does anyone know if Ford has been taking care of this? Is there a TSB that I can refer to? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

Ford will take care of it- they've done a number of them already. Just make sure you use a Ford dealer with an above-average body shop.

Thanks. In the mean time I talked to a couple of Ford Techs who said the same thing as you. They are going to get me a copy of a TSB that addresses this. I appreciate the response.
