My XC40 is now 18 months old with 22,000 miles. The other day I was just about out of gas and pulled over to fill up. The fuel filler door wouldn't open leaving me stranded at the pump. I looked inside the rear panel by removing the small cutout on the inside, but didn't see any mechanism to release the door. However, there was a loose wire with a green connector hanging there that didn't seem to belong anywhere. After some repeated pressing on the door it finally opened, but I'm concerned it will happen again.
Is there some safety mechanism that can release the fuel filler door if it fails to unlatch normally?
