Not to be argumentative but here's something to think about.
I wonder if the Odometer is made from a special LCD in our cars and trucks. I have left my GPS and cell phone which both have LCD screens in the truck over night during the coldest of February nights.
Granted the Liquid Crystals will not react as quickly to the applied voltage in the Display. This can be noticed by the numerals and digits appearing faded somewhat until the display warms up.
I'm not saying that each and every LCD is created equally and I'm sure there are cases of one cracking here and there.
I only have 30years in the electronic industry and I have never seen one crack due to it being cold. I have seen the instrumentation slow to update due to the outdoor temperature but they have never cracked and failed unless dropped, other impacts, or stressed within their mounting housing.
I'm just saying if it were me I would not be concerned.
