Stupid Gas Fumes in Cabin in CLS55 - Any Parts Left

Hello!
I finally got the gas smell in the cabin of my '06 CLS55 AMG. However, the parts department at my local dealership (Centerville, OH), claims the common parts for this repair are unavailable. Are there workarounds? Are there alternate parts? Wasn't this a recall? Or is that window over?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I appreciate it. I suppose I COULD have used my Google machine... but figured I'd ask here first.

I realized the date I provided is my date of the warranty expiration. The revisted MB warranty was extended for 15 years from the first date of your orignal warranty - the date your car was first sold. MB is still on the hook for repairing these cars so if your warranty has not expired, I would be pushing MB hard. This is not a small or low cost repair.
