You need to be careful here. Most of the 2023 trucks are not steel, they are zinc. What might be used to clean rust off steel will desolve the zinc. Like Mr. Burfle said, pictures will help. If the problem is with screw heads, which are steel, the best approach would be to just put in new screws. If the corrosion is white, rather than red, you are looking at zinc oxide, which is a more difficult problem to deal with.
