Instrument Cluster Replacement Requirements for Factory Status Clusters (U.S. Only)
Under certain circumstances a factory status replacement instrument cluster may be required.
Technical Background

Service
If a factory status replacement instrument cluster is required, certain criteria and special requirements must be followed before ordering. Any technician requesting a factory status instrument cluster MUST have a VTA case opened on the vehicle.
