String gas smell from under the car, found the fuel pump cover cracked and seal faulty

Lately, everytime I filled up the gas tank, I can smell gas from the rear left area. After some time when the tank is maybe a little over half the smell is gone. I assume there is a leak somewhere from the fill pipe to the tank. Maybe a bad rubber connector, gasket/seal failure? The vehicle has never been involved in any crash. Normal usage. Low mileage. Should this be covered by MB warranty at no cost to the owner? Thank you.

PLASTIC SEAL ON GASKETS FOR GAS TANK FAILED ON BOTH SIDES OF CAR. CAUSES LEAKING OF FUEL AND ODOR INTO PASSENGER AREA OF VEHICLE AND DANGER OF EXPLOSION DUE TO LEAKING FUEL. IT OCCURS WHEN GAS TANK IS MORE THAN 3/4 FULL TO FULL OF FUEL.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY MERCEDES GLK 350 WITH FUEL THERE IS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN MY GARAGE AFTER I PARK THE CAR. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK OF FUEL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR OR NOTIFICATION OF ANY ISSUE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE STRONG FUEL ORDER GOES AWAY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AND BURNING OFF A GALLON OR SO. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE THAT STARTED FEW WEEKS AGO AND IS OF A BIG CONCERN TO ME AND TO MY FAMILY.
