Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Upon starting vehicle, gas gauge and tachometer did not work. Turned ignition off then restarted and gas gauge fluctuated and finally responded, but no response from tachometer. After driving vehicle with air on, stopped at store then started vehicle and all gauges worked. This has happened quite often since it is getting warm. I have read blogs where other owners of the sport model are experiencing the same issue with the cluster failing. Some have tried to get repaired and that's a 50/50 shot. The only way to resolve is to replace cluster at $300. 00 used without labor and an extra fee of $100. 00 to calibrate mileage. Toyota is aware of issue, but fails to respond.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
