pic of old on right and new on left.....changed after 69980 miles.......

i notice your new cap is slightly different than the original
same as mine
however with my new one the tighten gas cap message still comes on and when i do tighten it, after a few starts the engine light comes on and reads a P0455
I clear it, then a few days later same thing - tighten gas cap, engine code again.
I was thinking the cap from the dealer wasnt the right one. Or maybe i do have another issue.
Just strange how the tighten gas cap continues to come on.
