Then again, I'm sure the Chrysler engineers took this into consideration..
Hope all works out with the dealer!! If Dodge won't replace it, may I suggest using mink oil on your wheel to keep it from getting worse and condition the leather. I've used it on my Nissan SE-R and Charger for years and it still looks and feels new.

I got it at Walmart. I applied the paste on thick with a rag. Let it soak for a few minutes and buff it off. (doesn't leave the wheel sticky or clammy)

I know dodge recommends not to use anything on their leather but if it's cracking, it couldn't hurt and it might just stop future cracking.
