Default Gas cap warning

Something strange happened this morning when the yellow light on the speedo came on and the "Check Gas Cap" message started being displayed.
Stopped to tighten the cap but light/message stayed on. Filled up the tank, which had been at about the 1/3 level, but the light/message stayed on.

It's been a couple of weeks since I got gas the last time but the warning just showed up this morning.

Anybody got an idea?

Might need to replace the gas cap or the gasket. I have had to replace a gas cap before as the emissions check pulls a vacuum on it and it must hold.
