Soon to be 2013 GL450
Steering wheel paint peeling?

Just got my new 2013 GL450 and love it, good deal and is a real treat to drive. 26K miles CPO, Pano, Prem2, etc. Love it. In great shape except I see one little thing that bugs me, seems small literally and figuratively but there are a few small spots on the steering wheel where paint looks to be chipping off, see the photo. Has anyone experienced this? I'll probably ask the dealer when I get the first service, but not sure if it might get worse. See the photo.

Probably defective paint job, will most likely continue, so let the dealer know now.

Sure looks like the previous owner chipped it up - it is a coating - can happen -

steering paint issues

2013 CPO X166 Gl 450 , mine did the same, now at 40K miles looks very bad. dealer quoted me $400 to replace the part, also my front lower seat started to show signs of stitching issues in the corner..

Had the same stitching issue on my CPO 2014 GL450 that I purchased in May. My dealer replaced the seat cushion under warranty at no charge to me.
