Angry P5 - steering wheel flaking?

I was just doing a little cleaning in the car and noticed that at about the 5 and 7 positions on my steering wheel the leather is starting to peel away in tine little places (the surface) and it looks somewhat abraded.

Now, I know that I did not do this to the wheel... and, since the car is less than a month and half old it is not due to improper care on my part. So, the next time I have it in to the dealer they are going to hear about it.

Y'all might want to check it out on your cars and make sure it is OK.

I got a little nick at the 12' position. It looks like a little imperfection on the steering. You can feel it like it was 1" in diameter everytime I hold it there.

Bummer, JJB, sorry to hear that.

No such problems on my end, and I've had mine a little over four months.
