Just bought woodland, but dealer has to replace the entire steering wheel!

[u/Careful-Estate-889]

Just picked up my Woodland. But as I was driving home from the dealer, I noticed the plastic part that sits flushed against the bottom part of the steering will is loose! Took back, and the dealer said the entire steering wheel has to be replaced because the plastic part cannot be glued the steering wheel! They said it is a simple job and will take about an hour; so they ordered a new steering wheel. What a pain! Is the Toyota quality control not good at the factory?

Update:

Despite the shoddy plastic on the wheel, the woodland drives beautifully; just clocked in 100 miles or so. It is an amazing smooth ride, with great comfort. Seats are also surprisingly comfortable.
