“Tbere are small particles of orange flash that has fallen off the front signal lights inside the front headlight housing. They are not supose to be in there. This is a defect that happened when the amber signals were molded. I work in a injection molding plant that makes the current sinals for the silverado and that is a defected part. I was told that should be a recall.”
