Has anyone seen the oil and battery gauges of a UC dash rotate way down off the dial?

I was told I was told it was common and reparable but I have my doubts.

Can someone shed some light on what's gone wrong?

The little plastic elbows that guide the pointer are probably melted and the pointers have fallen off and swung down on their pivots.

 

Usually caused by overheating (duhhh) of the gauge,

 

They can be repaired, but it's a very very fiddly process.
