yup that is what happened to mine., but i wouldnt worry about a little surface rust.

couldn't it also be possible that the paint on the cover just chipped and then the rust spread breaking away more paint?

the 08s definably can come with a steel cover...i just check one out in the parking lot...it was a gasser though

As Krewat said the 08'up diesels only get the alum cover. The paint held up very nice on the old steel cover I pulled of my 04' in the spring. The alum cover is not expensive and looks better a good upgrade in my book.
