    If it works again now, it probably isn't the subject of the TSB that is the problem and I wouldn't worry too much.

    The issue addressed by the TSB is that the fuel door does not always open fully. If the vehicle is in the VIN range, I would have the spring replaced with the new one under the TSB.

    True, but it's difficult to prove a negative.

    Maybe report that you're spilling gas due to this design, to the NTSB?
