OK, this is probably a dumb question, but what went right in 2003 that that model year is not affected by this recall? I find that very strange. Anybody have an idea?

They ran out of Lucas parts and had to use BOSCH? :-)

That can't be it. If the instrument clusters were made by Lucas, no one would expect them to light up at all.
