Default inner gas flap

I need to know if there is a inner steel flap that covers where you stick the gas pump nozzel on the GXP. i think that i saw one a few months ago on it, and almost all other new cars have one.. but i recently looked at mine the other day before i got gas and i noticed that i dont have one. If they do come with one, then does anyone have a clue as of what could have happened to it? if i didnt clarify what exactly im talking about it is the small (about quarter size) plate that covers where gas enters the tank, an immediate reply will be greatly appreciated thanks.

This was eliminated in the Impala as well. There's a TSB about it notifying dealers so that they can tell the concerned customers that it's normal.
