Volkswagen Polo 2013: Wheel hub rust

...

The wheel hubs on the VW Polo we purchased new in February are showing signs of rust. The dealership isn't interested; VW head office said they weren't prepared to do anything as it happens with all cars? Is this problem dangerous?

It sounds like the sort of surface rust that can happen during shipping or while the vehicle is in storage before it's sold, which can sometimes be months. If that's is the case then you really haven't got anything to worry about, but if you are concerned then get your dealer to explain to you what causes it and why it shouldn't be of concern.
