SIMPLE! The frame is STEEL and the simple black enamel paint the factory used on the frame rail is breaking down and no longer protecting the frame.
SIMPLE FIX. Wire brush the rusted area, use some spray can rust converter to kill the remainder of the corrosion and then use KRYLON semi gloss black paint to repaint the frame rail/s
