Default I broke something inside the gas cap lid

The other day I was pumping gas and accidentally slammed my gas cap door a little too hard and I heard something break. I opened the lid again and a little black piece with a metal inside had fallen off. Now when I drive around it says "Close Gas Cap Lid." Does anyone know the part name/number and how I should go about replacing it?

Here's a picture, it's the thing on the top right above the gas cap lid release.

how does that even...... *sigh* no matter how hard u close the lid that should have happened

Very unfortunate...

They are closed now, but call Sewell Lexus, the people there are VERY VERY nice, and really easy to deal with, best dealership hands down that helped me even though there was a part listed that they didnt' have in database.

Tell them your gas lid sensor broke because u slammed the gas lid too hard.

Yeah I worked at Sewell Lexus in Fort Worth, TX a couple years back. I was just hoping to order the part tonight but I couldnt find the part on the online catalog

As far as how it broke, I'm not exactly sure why it did. It's just a part that opens and closes. lol.

Here it is guys. I called Sewell Lexus and of course they figured it out. The piece is called "LOCK SUB-ASSEMBLY, FUEL FILLER OPENING LID" the part is 7703730040 and about $30. Luckily I didn't break the other **** which cost $200+
