I get "check fuel cap" msg every 20 miles or so. I did replace the fuel cap for a new one but I still get that bloody thing popping on. Should I replace the vent pressure sensor? Did anyone had that before?

there should be a bulletin. and it seems you know about it. so why make a thread, a simple search would help.

How many miles are on the TL?

v-talik

55k. I actually took the advise of the mad buddy on the top lol and the more I read the more it seems to be a PCV problem. is that the case?

Yea that's the case..i've got the same issue...it's covered under the emissions warranty.. I'm taking mine in next week for them to fix it. They said it should only take an hour or so.

This sensor is covered under your emissions warranty. I just spoke with the dealer yesterday they stated it is covered to 100k. How true that is I don't really know but I am sure it is covered to at least 75K.

Where did you find that bulletin? I have had the same problem since my car was new. Dealer was no help. Now at 90k miles I want it fixed or fix it myself

Take it to the dealership bro. I bought my CPO TL-S with this message stored in the NAV. Took it to the dealership...fixed it for free with a loaner....after 3 separate tries....

i took it to the dealer, and they told me its not covered under emissions warranty ... does someone have a part number so i can order this part and attempt to do it myself?

Bearcat94

^^^Do I smell DIY thread on this soon....I think this would be a great idea, because several 3G TL-S owners already have had this issue....

VQPower37

was it covered under your regular warranty or your emissions warranty? my car has 73k miles on it so i only have my emissions left

DuRtYwUrKs

I'll check my paperwork when i get a chance but i'm 99% sure it's covered under the emissions..

Spanky723

It's covered under the emissions warranty..

I just brought my 08 TL-S in today and told them of the problem.
I brought up the info about the TSB and they didn't ask one question, simply gave me a loaner and told me it would be done that day.

Got the car back as promised and no problems so far!
