smooth leather on bolster wear issues

im 6flat and 165lbs. but why on earth the smooth leather on side bolster has this crack look.. the car is just 2months old.

i have sports seats. they should put boston leather all over instead of that shitty smooth leatherette.

will the dealer replaced it if i decided to complain?

Not sure. I have the sport seats as well and I am 5'8, 180lbs but show no signs of wear on my bolsters after six months. Is there something else besides the cloth from your pants that rubs on it to explain the wear?

Do you have any pics of the wear?

If the wear seems unusual take it in and see if they warranty it since the car in only a couple months old. BTW the usual wear on these seats is normally along the edges of the bolster near the seam.
