2022 3500 DEF filler tube is loose

[NCHorseHauler]

Anyone else experienced looseness of the DEF filler tube. The blue tube will disappear down below the "floor" of the fueling enclosure if I push on it. Seems like the cap doesn't "lock" on either. Did a piece break off? 12K miles so light use.

TIA

My cap doesn't "snap" into place, though it does feel secure. The tube is firmly in place and doesn't even wiggle when I apply pressure to it.
It doesn't look to me like you have broken lugs.

Thanks much - perhaps the glue came loose...I'll keep checking.

I took a look at mine and it does appear to be glued or plastic welded. Should be a warranty thing for you.

I have a compulsion to drag the screen over so I can get a complete view of the green part!
