Consumer Description
My 2012 GLK350 leaking gas from under the rear right passenger seat, where the gas cap located. we fill up gas when we came back to home and park in the garage gas smell was very strong We thought may be because of spill some gas while Pumping. Next day gas smell was still strong inside of garage. I found gas leaking from under the rear right passenger seat. gas was dripping on the plastic cover Panel. I started google to find out what is the problem. Then I found NHTSA recall document #12V-557 regarding this problem, the Document specifically indicate and explained about faulty fuel filter flange might crack to leak gas fuel.it stated certain Model Year 2011-2012 GLK350.So I went House of import MB dealer service advisor [XXX] inspected car briefly then he checked MB recall status of my car. he said my car gas leak problem is not on recall list So they can't not repair under recall program. But he said there is another program that may cover it. I was confused and very upset . because there recall is exactly same as my problem I didn't understand why my car was not included on recall . they are going to inspect my car to see find out what is problem first. I like to report to NHTSA let you know my was leaking gas just like other recall Let you included in recall list Thankyou very much sincerely yours [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
