Peeling around keys

I have noticed peeling around the telephone keys on the radio, climate control and right steering wheel round keypad. The outlines of the items are peeling and the white background is coming through. I bought my car used and it had it already.

Has anyone else experienced this? I would assume it is a warranty issue. I just called the dealership to find out and am waiting for a return call.

I had peeling from my center console. The dealer replaced it for me under warranty.

There is no doubt that durability of some W204 interior fittings is suspect. Mineral filled PVA coatings & chromed plastic is crap. Keep deodorizers away from these finishes.

looks like they are replacing it under warranty.

Can you explain this peeling? Like around the cup holder? Thank you.

I'm very worried to hear of these issues.
