PROBLEM

The existing steering wheel cover may crack on certain Motor Graders due to a manufacturing error. See Image #1. The polymer material that covers the wheel has a low level of crystallinity, which makes it more rigid and fragile.
The cracking of the cover does not effect the steering wheel's ability to guide the machine properly.
