Consumer Description

I HAD A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE CLUSTER THAT OPERATES ALL THE GAUGES. SPEEDOMETER, FUEL,RPM, ETS AND TEMPERATURE. I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A USED CLUSTER AS I COULD NOT AFFORD A NEW ONE. I JUST RECENTLY LEARNED OF A RECALL OF THE IGNITION RELAY AND I WONDERED IF THIS COULD BE ANOTHER DEFECT WORTH CHECKING INTO. I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION OF THE IGNITION RECALL, I JUST HEARD ABOUT IT ON THE NEWS. SO I THOUGHT THIS COULD BE A RECALL THAT I HAD NOT HEARD ABOUT.*AK
