Unhappy Smell of Burnt Rubber anyone???

Bought our Jazz/Fit 2009 a couple of days ago and it was just tonight that i noticed something of a burnt rubber smell at the right rear wheel of this new baby. Heard and read this is also happening with CRVs coz of the tail pipe's/exhaust proximity with the tire. Just wanna know if what they're saying is true. I was kinda worried it could bee the break pads or fluid, but all of 'em are fine. And if it is really because of the exhaust and tires... should we be alarmed and get this back to the dealer at once? Please... kindly send me feedbacks before the wifey knows about this... thanks guys!

Might just be your exhaust breaking in?

Thanks guys!!! Nothing to worry then... I got a Milano Red that looks like more of a Rallye Red. Uh, I noticed you have the same. Can't wait to mod it...
