Order an aftermarket carbon fiber/leather wheel and call it a day! I plan on going the Alcantara/Leather route with flat bottom.

But yeah, stitch quality/alignment on the steering wheel and seats has not been very consistent. Curious where these are done and what the skill level is of the workers. Like most things these days, cheap labor wins out and it reflects in the quality.
LM Manufacturing makes the seats. Not sure who makes the steering wheel.

Yup, My red stripe is slightly right of center as well... Thought it was a slight front end alignment issue.

Mine is exactly the same but only when lane assist is activated (low sensitivity). I'll verify that again this evening.

I'm debating on getting it warrantied. It's driving me nuts.

@Ford Motor Company, is this warrantable?
It's the toe being off side to side - the truck could be perfectly aligned at the wheels, but the tie rods are off making the wheel off center. Personally, I would go to a reputable alignment shop than the dealer. Dealer likely won't warranty it and claim you could have knocked it out of alignment.

mine looks fine. I have not paid attention to the red part of the steering wheel since I dont use it for anything.

The red stitching density and f/r positioning differences would bug me much more than that.
