Description of the problem	I have a 2005 tahoe which i bought new. About 5-6 months ago my speedometer went out. I didn't have the funds at the time and let it go even though i felt it was a safety issue. I received no letter from gm that they were having this problem until today. I brought my car into my local goodyear place and they were going to charge me hundreds of dollars to fix it. My sister, who had worked at gm, had me call the chevrolet dealership jack burford in richmond, kentucky. They said they'd give me a new cluster but that i would have to pay for the labor ($130), i then called gn at 800-222-1020 and talked with a woman named[xxx]. She told me that they did not have a recall on that issue but a "special policy". Also, it was good only for cars with less than 80,000 miles. Mine has 97,000. They're still going to fix it though but it makes me upset that they didn't notify me about this problem and that i have to pay for the labor. The policy apparently went into effect in 2005, when i purchased the vehicle and expires in july, 2012. I wonder if other people have had this problem and, if so, since this is potentially a safety issue, should the cars be recalled? Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
