Slight smell of gas in cockpit?

Anyone with a 2016 GTS have any issues smelling very slight smell of gas/exhaust in the interior of one of these? Just began to pick up on it at 16,000 miles. Doesn't happen always and is not always easy to detect but have come across it with no adjacent cars nearby. Any input is appreciated.

I have a 2018 GTC and it was much worse than a slight smell. When I pulled the car into the garage it smelled like somebody spilled a can of gasoline. I printed off Wolfman's bulletin and handed it to the Mercedes-Benz tech and for no cost they replaced the parts. Now my garage smells gloriously like a garage instead of a gas can. I wonder how many people are just living with this flaw?

Delete, Didn't read your entire reply thought you were still dealing with the problem.

Sounds like you're fixed now Andrew?

It never ceases to amaze me how helpful this forum is. have a call into the dealer to have this issue addressed with the service bulletin. Percentage accuracy of what this forum comes up with solutions vs service team at Fletcher Jones? 100% Every Single Time. Last one was the tranny which this forum diagnosed to the bullseye and I am certain this too will be the case.

Thanks again all.
