Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Volkswagen Touareg

On December 28, 2020 I detected the distinct odor of gasoline outside of the driver's side of our 2008 vw Touareg while it was stationary, not running. Later while driving the pungent odor was also discernable within the vehicle. A picture of the tank reflects wetness on the driver's side. This morning during a call to donaldson's vw service, they responded that there are no open recalls for this vehicle regarding a fuel leak, for which a history of recalls exist. Is it possible that a prior recall service requires incremental remediation? what recourse is available to have a vw dealer resolve this manufacturer defect at Volkswagen's expense? a brief internet search reveals precedent for vw Touareg fuel leaks affecting production years 2004 through 2013 (and possibly beyond the scope of my search). Safety recall 20ai (NHTSA: 17v583) - fuel filter flange leak certain 2004-2007 Volkswagen Touareg safety recall 20z4 (NHTSA: 17v151000) - fuel pump flange may crack causing fuel leakage 2007 - 2010 Volkswagen Touareg safety recall 24bk (NHTSA: 15v019000) - fuel leakage affecting various Audi and vw models spanning 2011 - 2013 thank you for your indulgence and potential assistance!.

Fuel smell on the rear passenger side coming from the fuel filter tank area. Fuel tank is located at the bottom the rear seats. The fuel fumes are very strong we are afraid the car might catch fire. The fumes smell like fresh fuel. The fuel fumes are very strong especially after using the car after a 3 mile round trip grocery errands.
