I note that the article mentions moisture. I find it interesting that they don't/didn't on a 2016 or 15 use a gas/diesel cap on the fuel "port". have some funky rubber gasket like thing on the fuel door and once water gets past that it has free entry into the fuel tank.

Me too. My '14 has the 'capless filler neck' and as soon as I saw that I didn't like it. THere is a gasket on the fuel door but big flipping deal. It's still too much a chance for moisture.

I went online and got a billet aluminum fuel cap with o-ring. I just didn't like the idea of that filler neck being open to the world, even if it did have a spring loaded door.

Mine came with a plastic insert with an o-ring on it. I ordered one of the aluminum billet caps and have been real happy with it. Another plus is that it has a magnet in it so you can stick it on the back side of the filler door.

I have a 2015 2500 and haven't had a recall for this matter, yet. However, my CEL came on a couple of months ago and they replaced the catalytic converter on it under warranty.
