Thanks I got my CX-7 on Dec 28th and 3 days and 200 miles my CEL came on and this is what it was so they replaced my gas cap and did a few other software updates that had codes as well.
Thanks,
Shawn
 
I got mine dec 28th as well and has 277 miles on it. I haven't seen any warnings yet on the dashboard but I was already aware of this issue so when I had a fill-up, i made sure I closed it tight. I am still having it inspected when I bring "The Beast" for a quality care inspection. Thanks for the heads-up
 
I asked for the new gas cap before taking delivery (picked it up the end of November)
 
16500 miles on mine right now and now gas cap issue and no hesitation issue , but i did flashed and i feel the big difference now!!
 
gas cap replaced

I got mine replaced at about 2700 miles when I got the light. They had just gotten a batch of the new caps in and said that, though it wasn't technically a recall issue at the time, they had been directed to replace them anytime somebody brought their car in with the problem.
