Summary

Consequence

Unresponsive instrument clusters and/or turn signals can increase the risk of a crash.

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left instrument cluster with a cluster compatible with the right display, free of charge. The recall began on May 8, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL731.
