Default 2018 stuck speedometer

On my way home this evening the speedometer jumped to 67mph and is stuck there. Even stayed in place after I turned the ignition off. Yay, another trip to the dealer for warranty issues.

It appears that 68-72mph is my new zero. Speedo tracks speed as truck accelerated and needle moves past 120mph and will bury itself at the bear vertical down position at 70mph actual. Almost seems like something came loose or slipped then caught again on the spindle that turns to move the needle.

thank you. That got the needle back to zero. Is there a way to calibrate it? The higher the speed the more it appears to lag behind the digital speedometer
