Yes same here I have the 2019 Laramie and my steering wheel is scabbing up. I attribute mine to the sanitizing of my hands then grabbing the wheel
Limited coverage. Put in a claim soon if you want it taken care of through warranty.

What's up guy, have a '19 PW, just about a year old now with 12K miles. The steering wheel has begun to wear in my opinion very premature based on the age/use of the truck. Has anyone experienced this, or dealt with FCA regarding a warranty claim?

Keep your leather wheel treated with top quality cream that contains no solvents and it will greatly prolong its life.
Heated wheel will add to the drying out of the leather so keep it treated on very regular basis
I'm not sure what there is out there to safely clean and treat the rubberized coating

but I paid to have a nice leather steering wheel, I should be able to enjoy it and not have to put a cover on it.
The way I see it is why put a cover on it just to give a nice steering wheel to the next owner?I feel the same way about seatcovers too.

Yeah! Why buy the stuff just to make it look good for the next owner,unless you just really drag mud and stains in on it I wont protect it.

That's pretty crazy. I have 33 on mine and over 50 on my wife's durango and both wheels look better than that.
