Takata recall. After purchasing my 2010 Mercedes C-300 I've noticed a gas smell from the rear passenger side but this has gotten worse after I park my car in my garage overnight. The entire garage and vehicle interior smell like gas. I then notice a gas leakage spot from the rear passenger side tire. This happens when I have full tank or half of the tank full of gas. I red about this online I called the dealership but I was told the recall/ extension tank warranty does not apply to my car. Concerning the seat-belt the rear passenger side seat belt is default. It does not buckle
