Description of the problem	While vehicle was stationary in garage, we began noticing a profuse gas/fuel smell. It became increasingly strong in and out of the vehicle. Approximately 3 days after smell was noticed, i contacted the local mercedes benz dealership to advise of the issue. I also did some research online, and discovered that previous years specifically; 2006-2011 cls class vehicles exhibited the same defect which was addressed with the nhtsa and to which mb-usa agreed to extend the warranty for "covered fuel tank components" from the original 4 years to 15 years. The dealership diagnosed the left side sender unit to be cracked and leaking fuel, which is one of the covered components. However, they advised that my car was not covered due to the age of the vehicle (i. E. It being newer). As such, i had to pay for the repairs to the vehicle as well as vehicle rental needed during the time of repairs. The strong odor and fumes of fuel stemming from a component defect poses a severe safety and health hazard, while vehicle is stationary or in motion. There is a potential for ignition from stray sources, dizziness, headaches, etc. This is a quality defect that should be the responsibility of the car manufacturer to correct. Please advise as a recall is warranted.
