    2023 SR5 , 20000 miles, still under warranty.
    Issue #1 - I smell gas inside cabin. It's not too strong, but noticeable. It's getting worse when I start the truck after bein sitting for a few days, or when A/C is running.
    Issue #2 - Hissing and fading on FM Radio after Sirius-XM trial ended.AM stations are much worse. There is nothing wrong with Antenna as far as I know.
    I just did a visual check on the truck. Gas cab ok , tight and secure. No gas smell under the hood, any kid of drips under the truck.
    I am waiting on your opinion/s.
    Thank you for your responds.

    Issue #1 When you fill up are you packing the tank? Always stop on first click or you will get gas in EVAP canister which will cause a gas smell in and around the truck.

    Issue #2 Not sure about it but it’s still under warranty take it in to the dealer.

    There's a "warranty enhancement" for the high pressure fuel pump that has the symptoms you describe

    Address the FM noise or reception with the dealer

    I recently got a recall notice about weeping fuel around the HP Fuel Pump. You might want to check toyota.com or nhtsa.gov to see if you are affected? Regardless, that would be something that I would get sorted at the dealer.

    I checked both gov and Toyota sites. Only recall that came up for me was the debris around chassis recall. I'll check with dear soon. I don't know if I should directly call the dealer I bought the truck from , or call Toyota service first , and go from there?

    Any dealer would be able to help you. Same for any warranty work. Find your favorite. With fuel weeping, I would use the closest. Too close to the header and cats.

    I second the recall route...i was sent a letter for that issue too... I don't have that problem though, so I didn't pursue it.
