There is a GSB - General Service Bulletin for this issue.

Click the Link and Scroll down to Figure 26
Does it look like yours if so, it is a Warranty Item

Obviously no where near as bad as figure 26 but u think it’s still warrantable? Ik it’s not that big of an issue but I treat this thing like a baby and it’s the first new vehicle I’ve owned so

IDK, I would at least ask the dealer or better yet another dealer about the GSB, my thought is it may be just starting and might get worse.
Right now, its minor flaw, latter it might be more noticeable.

I am same as you - First New Vehicle (always bought used) I am also attempting to keep the truck looking new, same as you just over 1 yr owership and a 22

I’m only 22 and I’m trying to keep this truck until it rots away. Ik fords build quality isn’t necessary the best in recent years but come on. 2022 with barely 11k miles should not be doing that.

I would agree that GSB applies.
Return with the document and try again.
If they still deny it, go to the next level

You’re not supposed to put your hands on the steering wheel?

Ask him to please elaborate.
Knees and elbows only....no hands !!!
Trade off is that it's very hard to make turns....but we can't have everything.

Do I literally just show them that link like? Or is there an actual document?

print off the pertinent parts, screen shot it something.
But they have access to it, so even just giving him the number and asking them to pull it up on their system should suffice.
it superseded 22-7055. so give them that number too if they try and play the "must be new, we don't see it in our system" ploy.

Ok I’ll try that and hopefully it works. I made another appointment for Monday. I’ll print off the whole link that someone posted which clearly has the pictures on it just in case they try and pull the “don’t see it” crap. Hopefully they will do something this time. Ik the original dealer I went to didn’t want to warranty a suspension part because I “put aftermarket wheels on” which isn’t true they were OEM stock ranger wheels. Just black.

There is an actual document - Ford General Service Bulletin, it is similar to a TSB, but it is used for general items such as software glitches, interior blemish etc.
It is put out as a general guide (procedures) for dealers to follow to make a determination of whether to cover or not to cover under a warranty.

Ford Documents: Main Ones in order

SSM = Special Service Message - Potential Problem (Issue) but no solution, basically it is a FYI - Hey you might see this come into your shop.

GSB = General Service Bulletin - General Guidance on a procedure or issue

TSB = Technical Service Bulletin - Specific Guidance for a known/documented issue, usually they give various things to try to rectify the issue. Such as Do procedure A first if no help perform procedure B.

Recall = Detailed (no deviation) procedures to comply with the recall procedures as these are reported to the feds

Any chance you are using lotions or hand sanitizer?
I've had Fords I've driven for a few years with no issues and as soon as my wife or daughters drove them, the steering wheels started peeling.
Threw cheap covers on them to resolve the issue.

No I do not. No one else drives it other than me. I’m planning on and banking on them looking at the gsb and warranting it and then throwing a cover on it to prevent it

makes it harder to eat cheeseburgers and drink beer. holding the wheel is why God gave you knees.
And lane guidance. Well, maybe Ford gave us that one.:like:
