nope, them send them back to mitsu.... just so mitsu knows it was a warranty issue and pay the dealers.

theres no way they're going to replace it.....you have an aftermarket exhaust, that voids the warr.

They WILL replace it, go to another dealer if you have too. Mine was like that from day 1. i brought it in showed them, 2 days later had it fixed. took them less than 30 minutes to swap it out. interestingly enough, the little trim ieces around the spokes where the leather meets the steel on the wheel were missing on mine. yours seems to have it there. my new wheel is perfect complete with those trim pieces too. it almost as if mine was not completed.

I had mine replaced within 2 days, but mine wasnt peeling where everyone elses was, mine was peeling uptop around 2 oclock. my only problem is the one that they gave me has sort of a little peeling happening around the back at 6 oclock and the front slightly also, not bad at all, but i can feel a little bit with my finger while im turning.

i hope i dont have to have my second one warrentied also

I have spoken to the service manager at my local dealership (Smithtown Mitsu NY), and he told me that they will honor the warranty as long as it is not a direct effect of my after market stuff. My car is fully modded, my sunroof motor crapped out, brought it in and it was fixed no cost to me at all! They are not gonna void your warranty on the interior parts for a exhaust!..... Good Luck.
