Welcome to the forum BIGAL and congratulations on your trip results.
There have been other cases of peeling leather on the steering wheel and it's usually a warranty repair.
Such as here:

Welcome BIGAL,

Great trip and pretty good fuel figures for Queensland. There have been reports of leather failure although this is most common in Europe rather than Australia.

All we need now are some pics,

My favourite hobbies are armchair psychiatry & travel. :whistler:

Hi Big gal BigAl and welcome... Great choice (The CW with the diesel donk) :goodjob:

As the others have said, you wont have any problems getting a new steering wheel under warranty. Several Hyundai models have had this issue from time to time  :confused:

Hi Bigal - welcome to the forum. As said above - it's a warranty job.

You also have a problem with your computer keyboard - the caps Lock seems to be stuck on................. :whistler:
