Speed Control Cable Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Gm sent out a letter telling its customers that if you had a silverado (mine is a 2003) that has speedometer problems it could nbe replaced free of charge if it has less than 70,000 mile or 7 years. My truck started having speedometer problems when it hit 81,000, so even though its 5 years old I have to pay to have it replaced? its not like its a speedometer cable, its the whole cluster which is pretty expensive. I think gm needs to make good on this before someone gets hurt.
