Fuel Flap Issue

Hey, my 2018 Lexus GS with a gasoline engine has a weird issue. The fuel flap won't open. I get an error message, and it seems like some other car functions are also affected. Mileage is at 42181 km. Anyone seen this before?

I had a similar problem with my GS. Is the electric actuator the culprit?

How did you figure out it was the actuator?

The error memory pointed to it. Given the symptoms, I'd suggest visiting a workshop.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to the shop, and it was indeed the release mechanism. Repair came out to 210€. Appreciate the help!
