ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Dennis Eagle, Inc. (Dennis Eagle) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Elite and Proview vehicles. The instrument cluster warning light may falsely indicate that an exterior vehicle light is not illuminated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "Control and Displays" and 125, "Warning Devices."
- What it can cause
- The false warning light could prevent the detection of an actual light failure, reducing visibility to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the instrument cluster software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 31, 2021. Owners may contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136. Dennis Eagle's number for this recall is FSI1472.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 22 vehicles this is a small campaign: 86% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Dennis Eagle vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in August 2019 as 19V582000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V346000 (seat belts), 23V335000 (visibility), 23V089000 (exterior lighting), 22V645000 (steering).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Dennis Eagle Inc. with NHTSA on December 6, 2021 as campaign 21V941000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
