Check Engine Light P0441 HELP?!?
Hello everyone, I am a new member to this community but I have been visiting these forums for about a year now. I have a 2013 Mercedes C250 sport and recently my check engine light came on. No warnings and nothing feels or sounds different when driving. I got it scanned and the only code that came out was P0441, something about an incorrect purge flow. I don't even know where to begin with diagnosing this but one thing is for sure, the last thing I want to do is take it to the dealership and get scammed over a loose gas cap. I've looked up many forums and everyone who seems to be having these issues have cars that are from the early 2000's. Is this error normal for car thats barely a year old? Any ideas as to what this could be???

Usually, this is caused by a loose gas cap. Make sure it is tight, buy a $50 OBDII reader, clear the code, and see what happens. If it returns, either the cap is bad, or maybe a return hose is leaking. In any case, this should be under warranty.

I've looked into the code several times already before (I had the same error code a couple months ago). The last time this happened I had scheduled an appointment with my dealer and not even two days later the light turned off on its own. Is this something to worry about or should I keep driving for the next couple of days to see if the light turns off again? Thanks for everyones help!!
