My gauge cluster fix is on order as of two days ago. I stopped by the dealership and inquired if they'd seen anything to the effect of a TSB for the Civic yet and after a little searching they pulled up the recall document, which suprised me because I wouldn't think it would be a recall but it is. It actually was marked severe enough that any vehicles on the lot would have to have the update before they could be sold. I did not manage to get the exact vin range but the cut off was in the 71XX range I think. Mine's 6069 and is effected.

None of the service reps had seen the document before and he actually talked with the shop forman about it before ordering the parts. There is the gauge cluster, which I think they call the tachometer gauge, and there is also a part number for a trim removal kit tool because they have to remove the lower dash trim.

So it is official they're recognized the problem and the page on their computer said that notices are being sent out. I guess my car gets to be the guinea pig for my dealership.
