Check engine light was on. The problem was diagnosed as a faulty seal between the fuel filler pipe and the gas cap. This requires sanding of the filler pipe. The same problem was fixed less than two years ago and the car has only 41,000 miles on it. When questioned about the repeat repair, the dealer indicated that 2 years was a "good" amount of time for this repair which usually has to be repeated in a year or year and a half. Since I have never had a car with this problem before, it sounds like defective parts and/or design to me.
