Description of the problem	When i fill up my 2011 glk 350 with gas i have a very strong raw gas smell from the vehicle. It is so bad that i am afraid it will cause a fire inside my garage. It goes away as the fuel is run out of the vehicle. I check with mercedes and with my vin # it was not on a recall list however many other glk 350 were on a recall list for the same problem. It is recall 12v557000. I feel mercedes should cover all 2011 glk 350 for this issue as it is a definite safety issue with raw gas leaking. It was also in a bulletin sent to dealers about this issue. Nhtsa id 10059568. It is a leaking fuel filter flange. It is also a very dangerous problem!! The fix for it is replace the fuel filter flange and plastic pump also normally at a cost of $1200. 00 at the dealer. Mercedes needs to recall all 2011-2012 glk 350 for this issue in my opinion.
