Gauge illumination failure. Vehicle is a 2001 mercedes e430 which was subject to a recall-campaign number 06v028000. The terms of the recall required mercedes to replace the gauges with a part not subject to the same failure mode which was subject to the recall. My vehicles had the gauges replaced under the terms of the recall, but we have had a subsequent failure of these gauges, failing with the identical failure mode of the original recall. I have notified mercedes and they will not replace the part, even though it failed with the same failure mode.
