Hi all
Has anyone else got a steering wheel that's showing wear marks and car still has low k's ?
I have October 2016 SR5 with just over 20,000k on the clock.
Today I noticed the wear marks.

I had that at about 13,000k on my 2014 model. I asked for a replacement at the next service at got it with no problems at all. I know of two others who have had theirs replaced as well (All 2014 / 2015 previous moel)

Cheers,

Jim

It's a known issue to my knowledge and you should get it replaced if asking about it.

My 2011 has worn badly. I picked up a NOS one, had the original receipt in the box from 2012 - $2700 or thereabouts! Ouch. I'd hate to have to buy one for a 2016-17 outright at retail!

Yea I had it on my 2015 sr5. Thought it was just dirt but upon closer inspection it was pitted like in your photos. Was replaced no problem under warranty

I got a 2011 and they just replaced mine last week under warranty for me after 6 years.

Sweet next service I will bring it up for a warranty replacement.

Toyota still using poor quality material on the steering wheels! My 2013 SR5 was badly worn. It was out of warranty, but I still pleaded my case with Toyota and got a replacement for free. Same with the gearknob.

Had the same mate, mainly on the top of the steering wheel. Just over 20,000km. They replaced it under warranty and I did ask the question - "is this being replaced by something that doesn't wear out so quick?" to which I got a "don't know". They also tried to say "be careful what you put on your hands" hmmmm :evil:
