I have two recalls for my vehicle and mercedes has made no effort to contact me regarding repairs since 2011. I have take my vehicle in for service mutliple times and the recalls has not been repaired.
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. The federal safety agency 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.

Gasoline smell when fuel tank is full. I removed my rear seats and removed access panels to fuel filter/pumps...and discovered the passenger side access panel had gasoline on the unit and surrounding area. Somehow, there is a gasoline leak coming from that passenger side unit. I did not take any photos since I did not want any active electronics near the gasoline and gasoline fumes.
