Depends on your insurance policy. Every contract is different.

Regular auto insurance? Not one of the new car repair warranty plans?

For nominal insurance I would be profoundly shocked if they covered it.

There are several surface mount resistors on the display PC board that were not soldered sufficiently. All you have to do is reflow some solder with a soldering iron.

Get yourself a good soldering rig and anybody can do this repair! Just fixed my 2000 coupe. Thanks to all those who post these how-to threads!
