• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I have a 24 SX Prestige with 5k miles and does anyone have or heard of the leather wrap on the steering wheel splitting around the 6-8 and the 1-2 O'clock wheel position?.

It's been mentioned before. Obviously if it's leather, it's a poor product and not full thickness cowhide.
 
Just out curiosity, do you wear any jewelry that might be causing the issue? I have 2021 and have no evidence of that.

Not at all with the jewelry. Only thing to touch the wheel has been my hands. No one else has driven it. . When I 1st noticed it I assumed it was the stitching but realized that was on the inside of the wheel. I took it to my local KIA dealer and they acted very surprised a 2004 Telluride with 5K miles did this. (Imagine that) I'm waiting to hear back from them.
 
It's nothing on you, don't let them put the blame there. Before they were blaming hand sanitizer, etc. If you put a Google search in, you will see many makes suffer the same issues
