Not really, a lot of other manufacturers had recalls for various parts and even frames in excessive salt conditions.

It's just that such challenging environments trigger the problems first.

Among others, Toyota Tacoma gen 2 frames for certain years were improperly factory coated and would rust straight through.

There's a famous example from the UK told to mech eng students.

One make of car used the wrong type of fixing for the steering wheel and the wheel could come away in your hands :-)
