Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2015 Volkswagen GTI

I was parked in a parking lot with my car on when all of a sudden a lady parked next to me said that it smelled like gasoline. I decided to step out and check on the car the fuel was literally leaking out of the tank from the rear end of the car. The car had almost a full tank and in a matter of minutes it emptied itself out. Keep in mind, I am a smoker and if it wasn't because the lady told me about the gas leak it could've end up in a fatal fire/accident. I have seen around the internet that there was a recall for the same problem in 2015-2016 Gti models but once you go into the vw page nothing appears. It even appears online from trusted sources that the recall number was 20y5 and 20y6. Currently the car has been in the vw for 1 month and they wanted me to pay around $2,800 to replace the fuel tank and once I did my research I found out that the exact problem happened to thousands of other people who had the same model yet the dealer did not even mention it to me and want to charge me with the $2,800.
