2024 Tacoma Fuel Door won’t close

[socaltaco]

2024 Tacoma TRD Sport premium with fuel door release.

picked up the truck 2 nights ago.
Fuel door is now always open. Can’t close it shut. Mechanism doesn’t work.

Any suggestions BESIDES taking back to the dealer for repair? Anyone else have a similar issue?

frustrating for a new car.

There’s no mechanism for the fuel door. Pull to open / push to close. Only hybrids I think it is gets a “mechanism”. Are you sure you put the fuel cap back on before trying to close the door ?

Do you have a hybrid? I would try releasing with the button again and being firm with closing the door, kinda like an already latched door not closing

I have the exact same problem. 2024 TRD Off-road IMax hybrid. Fuel door broke in the first week of purchase. It won’t close and I get the fuel door open warning.

took it back to the dealer and they said the fuel door needs replaced but the fuel door is on back order. Still waiting after 3 weeks. Frustrating …

Being back ordered indicates that you are probably not the first owner with this problem.
