Steering wheel plastic peeling off !

[mermaidgem]

Hi Everyone,

I have a D40 STX TD auto with only 13000k on it..
And have just noticed the plastic covers over the cruise controls are peeling off plastic in the corner where it meets the leather wheel.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for the replies

Yep, mine too.
My wife blames me for fiddling with the cruise too much!
I have managed to get my head into the place where this is just a character mark.

Just dropped in the D40 for its 50k service and Von Bibra Nissan at Ashmore Gold Coast notified me that they are replacing the steering wheel plastic parts under warrenty.

Thanks for the reply..

I bought mine from there too, but get it serviced from South Tweed Nissan , seems to be a common problem as checked a few D40s in car parks etc .....So I hope the replacement ones last a bit better....mines due in March so will get it done then.

Thanks Again for your reply

Hi,

i have mine replace once now mine has done it again so it going back for its 70k service so they can replace it again.

How long ago were they replaced the first time? From most reports I've heard Nissan claim that somewhere after 09 they changed the way these things were made and the new designs shouldn't be peeling, atleast not so soon.

The first one was replaced around the 20k mark, now the second time will be 70k

Well mine was peeling, and is now out of the warranty period...

So I did this mod this arvo... Carbon fibre sticker... Looks heaps better.

Mine replaced during warranty but doing it again and they won't replace second time. Like the sticker can you get that in grey?
