That VIN doesn't show as being affected by the voltage regulator recall. You are under the ESP warranty until 04-08-2012 though, so I'd make them take a look at it. It might be something simple as checking and tightening your battery and ground connections. I'd start there, if that doesn't fix it then check the charging system and the gauge itself. Some have had issues with the gauge itself and don't trust it. I've seen ones as high as 16 all the time. Check the actual voltage using a meter instead of the gauge and see how it compares.
