INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL WENT BLACK -- NO LIGHTING, NO INSTRUMENT INDICATIONS. SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, FUEL GAUGES, FUEL GAUGE, EVERYTHING INOPERATIVE. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 06V028000 EXTENDED THIS RECALL FOR 10 YEARS, UNTIL 2016, BUT MY M/B DEALER TOLD ME THE RECALL EXPIRED IN 2009 AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. AM I CORRECT IN ASSUMING THE RECALL IS STILL IN EFFECT? *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
