Default Seat wrinkle/crease

I got an Rx350h executive package (highest trim in Canada) it's been a good car so far. However, last week I noticed a leather wrinkle where I sit on the driver's seat. It might not look like a big deal but it might crack over time. I had a 2017 Rx that I bought used and drove it for three years before upgrading and this never happened to that car. It shouldn't happen to an 80+k car. Is this something that is covered under warranty? If not, how to fix before it eventually cracks? It looks like that on the photo because I extended the seat out, it looks wrinkler without the extension. I have my first service appointment and I told them about it, they said they'd look into it. Just wondering here to see if someone has had this happened. Thank you.

That is due to manufacturing variance but it shouldn't be there, the crease will get worse over time. I suspect you'll have to badger your dealer quite a lot before they replace it. If possible look at some other Lexus interiors because the dealer will no doubt say, they all look like that.

I'm sure they will say that. This is not under warranty, is it?
