Can you show inside passenger side bolstering? And same with driver side? Or is it unique to that portion of leather?

Also hope it wasnt your passengers doing the seat a dirty

Ups... those Recaro seats seem to have serious reliability problems....

This is what my 2016 looks like. The damage was done before I noticed. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7218ae2faf.jpg

Recaro Leather Cracking
 

I will admit that I’m not too impressed with the general quality of the leather on these seats. It could’ve been much better considering the cost. I work hard at not damaging my seat every time I get in and out of the car. So far so good.

I think it’s an issue with Recaro who build the seats and not NISSAN. But maybe NISSAN imposed a cost restriction on the supplier and thus Recaro used a thinner leather? Who knows.

Looking at an older pic it seems like the cracks were their, just more faint.
Additionally a few days after I bought the car the passenger side seat got a nasty scuff on it. But only a small handful of people had sat in it and they were all careful. I highlighted this at the dealer and they said it is just normal wear and tear.
See below images


I don't understand how these are getting worn so quickly, it almost looks as if the top leather of layer is coming off in some places!

Take it in, based on warranty. I have the exact same car, but as a 2016 with 25K miles. No cracks or tears like you have. I've been using Lexol. Good luck!

I don't have a Nismo, but my drivers seat started showing wear after about 2 years of ownership. I brought it to Nissan's attention; they took some pictures to send to Corporate for warranty determination, and was denied.

I ended up getting the seat repaired locally for about $300...

These seats should not wear as fast as they do, so now, I slide the seat all the way back when I get out. Seems to work for me...

^^ Great repair job!!!

My driver side is doing it, not nearly as bad as these pictures, but beginning stages. 2016 about 25k miles. Probably wear getting in/out. Should probably see about warranty....

Mine still look new and my 2017 is 2 years old bought Oct 2016...

I use nothing on them as far as wipes.

Looks great did they replace the entire leather strip?

Nothing was replaced...somehow, they repaired the leather, matched the color and resprayed what they fixed. After a few years, it's still holding up pretty good.

Stealership gave me grief and I was in a hurry so didn't fight but saying it was normal wear.

Normal wear with, How many miles on the car? :ugh2:

Hi there .... i've got another problem, not the leather itself but also a Recaro only problem.
Since nearly 1 year my Recaro driver seat is squeaking from the back or maybe the seat hinge. I know from 3-4 other Nismo Owner in Germany, that they have the same problem.

Does anyone in US recognize the same noise?
