Yep, the couch, recliner, and both captains chairs on our 2012 Georgetown did, and are doing, the same thing. Really rotten, the cheap material they use to upholster the seats in new RVs. From what I've read, many manufacturers use a cheap 'painted' leather, that never lasts long, just until the warranty ends, haha.
We chose to re-upholster the couch, did that last year. Cost us about $400, but well worth it, much better more durable leather. Like it much better. Going to look at reupholstering the recliner and captains chairs this winter with same material. Won't be cheap, but it's what we gotta do.
I'd be afraid if we just replaced the chairs, we'd just end up with same cheap material and have to replace it again in a few years.
