Default Speedometer stutters

Hello,

When turning the ignition key, the instrument panel always does the instrument test were the speedometer and tachometer needle go from side to side. Usually the needles move fluently from side to side.
I noticed that my two gauges fluently move to the opposite direction, but on their way back to the zero position my speedometer gauge "stutters" a bit while going downwards.
It then returns correctly to the zero position and matches the speed with the HUD while driving. Just wondering if there is anything wrong with my speedo gauge ??
Thanks
Alex

I think the speedometer has dyslexia!

As long as the speedo works normally otherwise, why would it be a problem?
