No, MB got sued because W211 fuel tanks were leaking gasoline when filled to the top. Usually you can smell gasoline in the garage when parked over night. NHTSA opened an investigation and as part of the settlement they agreed to extend the warranty to 15 years unlimited mileage from the date the car was first sold in order to avoid a recall. MB replaces the whole fuel tank, pump and sender. I had the tank replaced on my 04 in December 2018, 4 months before the warranty ran out.
25 was a typo. The SBC is covered by a 25 year warranty. Fuel tank is 15.
