They settled out of court and in 2015 MB extended the fuel tank warranty to 15 years unlimited mileage. If you smell gasoline from a 211 the dealer will install a new fuel tank complete with pump, sender and wiring harness free of charge. I had mine done in December with 4 months left on the 15 year warranty. Diesels are excluded and PZEVs are limited to 15y/150k.
