Fuel pump recall on the way

I tried scheduling this on Monday, was told a service advisor would call back, that didn't happen. Hopefully the service manager will actually call and I don't have to keep chasing them.

 

I called my local dealer, they said you had to call for them to order the parts and they would call back when it arrived. Service advisor predicted end of the week, he should have it

 

Yep, the dealer orders the improved fuel pump per VIN number. It's not a stocked item yet. The old defective pump is sent back to process the claim. Toyota knows each defective fuel pump per its serial number I was told.

Having mine done right now, drove in with fuel light on and warning displaying 8 miles left of fuel. Fingers crossed here.

 

Just scheduled mine today tried asking if they were replacing the high or low pressure pump but they said they didn’t know??

 

They should know, this recall has been out awhile and other models have already been completed. The recall clearly states its the low pressure pump.

 

Is toyota going to notify those affected via letter? Mine is working fine and I'd rather not be a Ginny pig for the new pump

 

They should, but as most of us have learned, the dealer can’t even figure out torque specs. The Tacoma has been bottom of the list for the new pumps

^ Well done.
The less the mechanic has to be pissed off about, the better.
I'd give $100 bucks out of pocket if they'd let me in there to give him a hand personally.

 

I've got mine scheduled bright and early Friday morning in Savannah GA.

 

Savannah or Chatham Parkway?

 

Savannah Toyota.

 

I'll get mine done tomorrow. They do have to drop the tank and are offering a rental car. Seems pretty good to me.

 

I noticed that the trucks that were on hold at my dealer are now listed so they must have fixed them. No recall on mine yet.....

 

Bought mine from Chatham Parkway. Bought my 1999 Taco From Savannah Toyota.

 

So, from what I'm reading, the 2020 is immune to this recall?

 

where did you read that statement ?

 

1st post says 2018-2019
And no I did not read 29 pages, thats why I asked.

 

Stopped by the dealer yesterday and they ordered the part. I was told approximately 3 weeks I'll get a call to schedule an appointment.

 

I have a 2019 and so far I haven't made the list.

 

I went in for my 25K service last Friday, my dealer told me they had the parts in to do the recall. After being there for 3 hours they then told me they couldn't do it because I had a full tank of gas. Come back when it's under 1/4 tank. Couldn't have told me that in the beginning? So I went back on Tuesday when I was below a 1/4 tank. That visit took 6.5 hours. Can't believe it took that long. Putting on my lift didn't take that long, smh. But it's done.
