    I haven't paid close attention to my gas filler tube, but I noticed the other day when I filled the tank, that it didn't look right.

    I seem to remember the filler tube being held in place by the circular flange. But now it looks completely loose, and detached from the flange.

    This is a 2015 DCSB TRD Off Road. If someone has a similar model, can they tell me if the filler tube is supposed to be loose, and able to wiggle around?

    That does look a little odd. Like it is sagging down.

    Just looked at my 2012 and it is nice and tight, not sagging and doesn't move. You got sumting wong.

    Just wanted to close the loop on this. The dealer "popped" the filler tube back in the retaining ring, and it looks normal now. It must have popped loose when I was on a Forest Service road, that was a bit bumpy. No parts were needed.
