The warranty period for the W465 AMG Performance Steering Wheel typically follows the general Mercedes-Benz warranty policy for components and accessories, which varies based on factors like the country of purchase, whether the vehicle is new or pre-owned, and the specific warranty terms offered with the car.

General Warranty Details for New Vehicles:

1. Basic Warranty:
   • For new Mercedes-Benz vehicles (including the G-Class with the W465 AMG Performance Steering Wheel), the basic warranty generally lasts 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This covers defects in materials or workmanship, including the steering wheel and its components.
2. Corrosion Perforation Warranty:
   • Corrosion (rust or other forms of damage) is typically covered under a 12-year warranty, meaning the steering wheel's materials (such as leather, Alcantara, or carbon fiber) are protected for the first 12 years against any material degradation due to rust or corrosion.
3. AMG-Specific Components:
   • AMG components, such as the steering wheel and other high-performance features, are usually covered by the same terms as the basic vehicle warranty. However, AMG-specific parts might have slightly more specialized servicing requirements.
4. Extended Warranty:
   • If you purchase an extended warranty (either through Mercedes-Benz or a third-party provider), it can further protect the steering wheel and other vehicle components beyond the standard 4-year or 50,000-mile period.
5. Warranty for Repairs or Replacements:
   • If the steering wheel is found to be defective or malfunctions due to manufacturing defects within the warranty period, it should be repaired or replaced at no cost to the customer, excluding any additional labor charges.

Considerations:

• Exclusions: The warranty typically excludes damages from accidents, wear and tear, improper maintenance, or modifications to the steering wheel (e.g., installation of third-party accessories).
• Cosmetic Wear: Standard wear from use, such as slight scuffing of leather or fading of Alcantara, may not be covered under the warranty. However, significant defects or failures of the controls, buttons, or steering wheel structure would be covered.
• Third-Party Modifications: If the steering wheel has been modified, such as through the installation of aftermarket parts or reupholstering, these could void the warranty.

Extended Service Plans:

• For added peace of mind, Mercedes-Benz offers extended service plans, which can include longer coverage for specific components. You may be able to add an extended service plan to cover parts like the AMG Performance Steering Wheel for a longer period.

Maintenance and Repairs:

• If you require any service or repairs during the warranty period, it is recommended to go to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership to ensure that the warranty remains valid.
• If the vehicle is still under warranty, any necessary repairs or replacements to the steering wheel due to manufacturer defects would typically be covered at no additional cost.

Final Thought:

While the basic warranty lasts 4 years or 50,000 miles, specific warranty terms may vary by region and individual vehicle purchase. It’s a good idea to check your vehicle’s manual or consult with your Mercedes-Benz dealer to confirm the exact warranty details for your W465 AMG Performance Steering Wheel.
