Good photo. I can't quite tell if it is on the seat back or the bottom seat cushion, but appears to be a puncture or tear of some kind. Question: Have you ever given your car to a valet or had anyone else drive it - like at the car wash? Just sayin' - it may not be your fault, if this makes you feel any better. Anyway, I have a month-old CX-5 GT with the black leather interior and all looks great except that I noticed on the 2nd day that there was a slight lump or hard spot pressing against the surface from underneath on the driver's side seat bottom cushion. This is almost at the front of the seat just to the left of the seam between the raised outside bolster (smooth leather) and flat seat center insert (perforated leather). It almost feels like selvage from the welting or seam-work of the leather or some kind of cord or wire (something to do with the seat warmer perhaps?). As automotive leathers are often not of the thickest grade, I am afraid that after some weeks/months of sliding in and out, that this could possibly begin to wear through the leather itself and actually become exposed. It is only on this seat at this spot and is not felt or seen at any of the other seams or seats. I will mention this to the service manager on my first visit - if not before - to put them on record that there is a possible defect. Let me know if anyone else has noticed this or even felt it. Very obvious to the touch.
