Answer 2

I would say you probably need a new guage cluster.

When you bring it to GM, they will verify and order a new one for you. Im most cases this is a 'dealership only' part, as the new cluster has to be programmed by a GM computer after installation.

edit: a recall is specific to a particular vehicle, so you will have to call or bring it in for them to see if your VIN falls into the category of a replacement. Normally you would receive a letter in the mail if it is.
