Steering wheel appearance damaged due to external impact (e.g., contact with finger nails, zippers, watches,
rings, etc.).
Technical Background
External impact (e.g., contact with finger nails, zippers,
watches, rings etc.) can cause damage to the appearance
of the steering wheel (Figure 1 and Figure 2). This type of
damage is not warrantable, as numerous investigations
have shown that there is no fault in material or
workmanship.
