Cluster

My service advisor informed me that as long as I bring the vehicle in before I reach the 50K mile mark, it will be replaced under warranty.

Dealership

As Danny pointed out, any dealership will replace it under warranty. I personally have a good relationship with Calabasas Motorcars in Calabasas located off the 101FWY. Service advisor's name is Chris Mancusso.
