Yes, but with only 11K miles on it, he's gotta have warranty left. I say
just bring it in as long as it's free. Besides, they might be able to bust
it out in a matter of minutes for you.
As far as not worrying goes, I drove with a "minor evap system leak" for
over 2 months because I kept forgetting to go pick up a new gas cap.
Eventually the code changed from minor to gross (major) because I left it so
long.
