Not worried about it being under warranty. More concerned that it might become a long term problem. There is no reason to have coating the fuel filler tube versus simply having it plated. Also, I am going to try to peel off the piece that is starting to come loose and see whether if placed in fuel it actually dissolves over time. (On the warranty issue I am not impressed with the Nissan dealership where we purchased the Z and would have a concern if they did. I'm looking at other Nissan dealerships, but would have preferred that the Z have been part of the Infinity line versus the Nissan line.)

My wife and I are careful, but this does not preclude dealerships who fuel up your Z when you purchase it, and it's a bunch of nonsense to have to kid-glove a fuel filler. Plus, there are States where you are not allowed to fuel your own vehicle.This coating/lining is exposed in all the wrong places, and over time others will probably have the time symptoms if they are not already experiencing them now.
