Hurray!!!!!
I have some positive news for anyone in California with a 2004( the one year which has the issue of the recall destroying your instrument cluster requiring a replacement (which no longer exist).
Apologies I don't remember which forum member posted the email of a Jerry from the California Air Resources board , but I emailed him after my post over a month ago, and he was very responsive and helpful.
I described the issue of ZERO dealerships dealing with the #t21 recall in California for the 2004 model year(2005-2006 apparently do not have instrument cluster issue). He asked lots of questions and said he was actively speaking with Fiat Chrysler about this. He understands the required replacement parts no longer exist and they have (for now) suspended the recall at least for 2004 year models.
After checking in to see if there was any progress, I received this email today-
"Hi Chris,
We have removed the POC requirements temporarily for recall T21 for 2004 MY Sprinter. You can do the following to renew your registration:
1. The renewals can be processed in person at DMV or at AAA without needing a Proof of Correction. The requirements for POCs will have been removed.
2. owners can mail in a copy of their registration card instead of the preprinted renewal form along with a check for the renewal fees to the DMV renewal office (if you mail in the original renewal form from DMV will not work).
3. Unfortunately, the renewals cannot be processed by internet.
Hope this help. Thanks.
Jerry Ho"
