If you really have a concern, one thing you can do that will help any steering wheel that is exposed to the elements, etc., is to rub on a light coat of Linseed oil, leave on for an hour - then wipe off thoroughly so that there is no sticky residue. It should be good for 5 to 10 years or more, depending on heat and weathering - which is the real killer. If you have no weather issues, once the linseed oil has been rubbed on and wiped off, and it remains free of heat and weather, it should last a very long time - decades - without any adverse effects.
