Default Fuel Filler Door Malfunction on ZR1/ Brake Squeal

Anyone have the remote fuel filler door release button malfunction?
I have like 2200 miles on my 09 ZR1 went to the fuel station and the remote release would not open the filler door. I had to use the manual override release in the trunk area. I guess I will take it in to the dealer tomorrow.
Also I have noticed a brake squeal when I apply the brakes, anyone else have either of these two issues?
Thanks

None of those problems here. Have you checked the fuse box?

I believe the break squeal is a normal condition.Remember your driving a race car with full blown racing brakes. Just curious did you do the brake burnishing after break in ?

Have you done the break burnishing yet? If you don't, it can impact the life of your very costly rotors!

My fuel door does that sometimes. I just tap the button a few times and it will open. If it is intermittent, it is probably the actuator. If not, it could be the actuator, fuse, or wiring. It will be covered under warranty.
