Dealer claimed it is wear and tear item and would not fix mine when the car was under warranty. It cracked by itself. Use vinyl and leather repair kit, it works great.

I hate to drag this back up but I was reading this forum and leather IS NOT a wear and tear item. I've had the leather bottoms on both driver and passenger seats replaced in my 02 TL-P at 47 and 48k miles because of excessive wear.

4 years or 50,000 miles. I've had my leather seat covers (bottom portion) replaced on both seats under warranty.
