Known issues on the 2008 Silverado 1500. Two recalls stand against this model year. One covers a heated washer fluid module in which a short circuit on the printed board can disturb other electrical functions, create an odor or smoke, and raise the risk of an under-hood fire. The other concerns replacement headlamps built without the amber side reflectors that let other drivers pick a truck out from the side. Owner complaints reach 1,076, concentrated heavily on the air bags at 630, then the electrical system at 122 and the structure at 39.
