The latch is usually part of the fuel door and the cable assembly. The end of the cable clicks into part of the fuel door itself - so the name of the part is directly related to what part exacly is broken. The best thing to do is to see if the parts people at the dealer will come out and look at it so they know what part you need. (Yes, you will have to order this from the dealer. Fuel doors and fuel door release cables are rarely available in the aftermarket.
The service manual for this vehicle does not even mention anything about the fuel release cable, let alone HOW to replace it. It cannot be real hard because the labor manual lists the labor time required to replace it at 0.9 hours. You may have to remove a trim panel or two. It is a "Skill Level B" part. (with "C" being basic maintenance like oil changes and light repairs like tire replacements and "A" being major engine/transmission teardown and repair.)
