If you do have a problem with the tach that can't be fixed send it back. I never reved past 2500 so I had no idea of this issue
Hopefully you can get it fixed for cheap

burn_your_money, you never rev past 2500rpm??  Are you serious?  I can't cruise on the highway without revving at 3000rpm.  It's just geared that way.  When I accelerate from rest (stop), I routinely bring it up over 3000rpm.  The engine won't break.  Mine has almost 330,000km.

I bought the car to part it out. I only started it up 3 times in my driveway and I never moved the car, only reved it to verify for myself that everything was working. On my daily I normally take it close to 4k  :D

BTW the problem was solved, it was a partial break in the w-terminal wire
