from what i heard this happens to most of the Xs but its a hit or miss at the dealer i guess. mine is starting to get "wrinkly" i guess i would say and i only have 3k on my 2011.....its rough for a 37k car this shouldnt happen. same wit the saggin aero kit people have its non-sense but then again we are buyin a street legal "rally" car i guess.

Honda is known to be fairly generous when it comes to warranty repairs. I think a little xymol to clean and Ein Zet (1Z) leather care to condition should take good care of your steering wheel leather. Not grabbing it after you eat greasy food might help too.

I noticed my steering wheel is very easy to scratch. Like very cheap leather. You can take ur fingernail and put a permanent deep tear into the wheel. I have a few scratches and what-not around my steering wheel. Just wear and tear I would assume as well. Can't see Mitsu covering it

The "wear and tear" items listed as non-covered in the warranty only mention brakes and clutch. Might want to visit another dealership about that steering wheel. Honestly, knowing Mitsu and how they cover drive-train stuff, the *only* reason I bought my 100k mile warranty is for my leather interior and AC vents, window motors, and the like. I hate it when that stuff starts to fall apart.
Saying the steering wheel is wear and tear, is saying the window motors, door hinges, and fuel pump is wear an tear only because they get used when you drive the car. If you're within your 36/36 they should be covering that

I have so many scratches on the leather wrap steering,not to mentioned the upper part of the steering are sort of fading away,perhaps its due to the hot weather here in asia.

I'm at 2 years, and mine still looks almost new.

Take it in sooner, rather than later.. major steering wheel wear at 2-months or 2k-miles is abnormal imo. Plus it might be easier for them to justify a replacement at only 2 months rather than 3 years, when your bumper-to-bumper is about to expire.
I'm at 2 years, and mine still looks almost new.

But this latest comment is definitely correct, sooner than later. If you take it in sooner, it's documented that much sooner. Also, take the drive and go to a different dealer than the one giving you grief. That really sounds like a very BAD dealership to not cover your steering wheel with as little as 2k miles. If you contacted Mitsu corporate directly about 2k miles I'm sure they would even say that it should not be coming apart.
