Has this happened to anyone's door trim

About 6 months ago I got a letter frominfiniti regarding this issue and ststing that they are extending the warrenty on this issue for 5 or 6 years I think. I will have to look for the letter.
 
I got this attachment from an old post from someone in this forum who got this letter. It is the same as my letter.

My dealer just told me that they will replace the wood trim with Genuine wood veneer with improved resistance to cracking and peeling--a part he said only became available in June 2011. Fx's made from july 2010 used simulated wood from the factory until this new genuine wood trim became available, which was apparently last month. From now on, all fx's made after June 2011 will have the genuine wood again. Before June 2011, anyone who required this repair had simulated wood put in. If you were one of these people who had the fix done btw july 2010 and June 2011, and your wood was replaced with the simulated type, then you too can have the improved genuine wood put in at no cost if you really want. I dont know what is avail to people who bought their fx with simulated wood from the factory however. All in all, this is pretty good news.

If it was advertised with real wood and instead gave you simulated... you'd definitely have the legal right to receive the real wood trim. Whether or not they'd make you take the legal route, or if you'd want to do so if forced, is another question altogether :)
 
Got the new wood trim put in. These are the genuine wood veneers they are using now to do this fix. Looks pretty good. Dealer said this is pretty rare with the new fx's but more common on older m's. I'm the third fx
they've seen with this problem.
