The warranty for the AMG steering wheel typically depends on several factors, including the vehicle's warranty and the specific components of the steering wheel (e.g., airbag, electronics, materials). Here's a general overview of what you can expect:

1. New Vehicle Warranty:

  • If you have a new Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicle, the steering wheel will generally be covered under the vehicle’s manufacturer warranty.
  • Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Warranty typically lasts for 4 years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first) in the U.S. This warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship for the steering wheel, including components like the airbag, paddle shifters, and electronic controls.
  • If you experience any issues with your AMG steering wheel during this period, such as malfunctioning buttons, problems with the airbag system, or structural defects, you should be able to have it repaired or replaced under the warranty, provided the issue is due to a manufacturer defect.

2. Extended Warranties:

  • If you purchased an extended warranty (e.g., Mercedes-Benz Extended Service Plan or a third-party service plan), coverage for the AMG steering wheel may be extended beyond the original 4-year/50,000-mile period.
  • Be sure to check the terms and conditions of the extended warranty to understand the specific coverage for steering wheel components, as some extended plans may have exclusions or limitations on certain parts.

3. AMG Parts Warranty:

  • If you’re replacing or upgrading your steering wheel with an AMG steering wheel after purchasing the vehicle, the steering wheel (if purchased separately) may be covered by a separate parts warranty.
  • The warranty for genuine Mercedes-Benz parts (including the AMG steering wheel) is typically 1 year or 12,000 miles, depending on the terms set by the dealership or manufacturer.
  • If your AMG steering wheel is damaged or defective due to material or manufacturing flaws within this period, you can typically get it repaired or replaced at no cost.

4. What’s Covered Under Warranty:

  • Manufacturer Defects: If the AMG steering wheel is found to have defects in materials or workmanship, it will be covered under warranty.
  • Airbag System: The airbag and its related components (like the inflator) are also covered under the vehicle’s warranty, as long as the issue is not related to impact or accidental deployment.
  • Electronics: If there are issues with the steering wheel-mounted controls, paddle shifters, or any other electrical components that affect performance, they are generally covered as well.

5. What’s Not Covered Under Warranty:

  • Normal Wear and Tear: Damage due to wear and tear or accidents (e.g., worn-out leather, scratches, or cosmetic damage) will generally not be covered by the warranty.
  • Improper Installation: If the AMG steering wheel was installed improperly (for example, through third-party modifications), damage caused by improper handling will not be covered by the warranty.
  • Aftermarket Modifications: If you modify the steering wheel with non-genuine parts or accessories (e.g., aftermarket covers or modifications), the warranty could be voided for the steering wheel or the affected components.

6. Contact Mercedes-Benz for Details:

  • To get specific information about warranty coverage for the AMG steering wheel, it’s always best to check with an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership or service center. They can provide you with the most accurate details based on your vehicle’s model, year, and warranty status.

Conclusion:

The AMG steering wheel is typically covered under the vehicle’s warranty (usually 4 years or 50,000 miles) if you’re the original owner of the vehicle. If you purchase the steering wheel separately or as part of an upgrade, it may be covered under a 1-year parts warranty. However, normal wear and tear, cosmetic damage, and modifications may not be covered. For detailed coverage, it’s always advisable to consult with an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
