Steering wheel stripe chipping after a year of use.

[Caleb Sousley]

What is the justification needed to have the dealer replace a steering wheel? Are cosmetic issues enough? If so, wish I knew that on my old vehicle!

I’m guessing just if it is still under warranty they can’t really deny it. So I’d say cosmetic issues would be enough

My 19 started doing this after the first year. Finally took it into the dealer for something else and they offered to replace the steering wheel for me because of the stripe.

When you are out of warranty, you can always replace the stripe with another piece of leather. Some of the gen 1's have done this mod.

Would it be covered under PremiumCare warranty at 75k miles????? Mine has started chipping too, so if it's covered, I'll have em replace it.

 

[RaptorFun]

Yes...it will be covered.

Only defects are covered; not normal wear and tear or appearance issues caused by lack of maintenance (embedded dirt/staining), chemical damage, or physical damage such as abrasions, scratches, scuffs, etc.

View attachment 159254 Does anyone have any tips or ideas to fix the red stripe on the steering wheel? It’s only a year old and I’m surprised it’s already began chipping but I bought it used so idk how well that part was cleaned before I owned it.

121k miles on mine and stripe still looks great. Maybe PO didn’t touch the stripe

I had my steering wheel replaced under factory warranty. Now the wheel is doing it again however.

. I don't know?? I guess if its from wear and tear, I don't think they have to replace it.. just saying...

Sadly, that’s pretty good for a used truck. Most of them are jacked and often really dirty. I looked at a ton before buying mine. Mine is worse than yours but better than most. I think even the orange accent steering wheel is surprisingly cheap—$450 IIRC.
