Is this normal on the steering wheel?

So I just got a new Fit and I’m loving it. But I noticed about a day after that there’s like a bump dead center in the back of the steering wheel. I thought it could be a nick but I don’t have long fingernails and the car had 12 miles when I got it. On the bottom of the wheel directly it seems to have a similar thing that’s circular so I’m thinking it’s some kind of seem. I didn’t notice it until I started doing bigger turns and it swept through my hands. Is this normal?

I dont have one, sounds like a mold burr/ seam, like you said. might just be a small manufacturing defect. could always see if the dealer will fix it. or file it off gently

I had a bump like you describe when my car was new. It has worn away though.
