Common questions

Is P0308 a known problem on Chevrolet vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 708 manufacturer filings and 2 owner reports naming P0308 on 126 Chevrolet model years (2016–2022). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Chevrolet models does P0308 appear on most?

2016 Express (11 documents), 2021 Silverado (11 documents), 2017 Spark (10 documents).

Does P0308 on a Chevrolet mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
