Very common. Slightest thinning of paint around the oversize tread holes, which allow water to be trapped, and it starts. I removed my treads to check and found very slight onset of corrosion. Hand touched up paint underneath and refitted with plenty of silicone grease and nylon washers between treads and bodywork.
