My 2014 Bambi has same. I did some research and read about a type of “bug” that eats the metal and can spread. I’ve used ACF-50 anti corrosion formula it’s used for airplanes,engine components,etc. it helped some.

I will repeat what I wrote before. Salt from the sweat on your hands can quickly contribute to corrosion of the aluminum handle. As others have posted, simple polishing can keep that handle looking nice.

Mine looked pitted when I picked it up new. It still looks bad.
