Very strong smell of gasoline in passenger compartment every time gas tank is refilled. Smell gradually abates as the level of gas in the tank drops. Concern regarding fire hazard due to leaking gas. Appears to be a long-standing problem. I have contacted mercedes-benz and there has been a technical bulletin issued on the problem, but no fix was suggested and I am not aware of any recall being issued. This problem needs to be investigated by the federal safety agency, as it may be related to other reports of spontaneous fires occurring in these vehicles and this presents an imminent safety risk for drivers and passengers.

A software calibration number (scn) coding received on the affected vehicles during a recent workshop visit was incorrect. Depending on the model year and model affected, the results of an incorrect scn coding can affect a number of vehicle safety and emission functions including the following types of functions: (1) the fuel gauge readings may be incorrect; (2) a stuck fuel-level sensor may not be displayed in the instrument cluster; (3) the obd system may cause the check engine light to illuminate incorrectly; and, (4) the speedometer may be out of tolerance.
