Well hell. Finally got me.

 

It appears most if not all of those Denso fuel pumps for late model Toyotas were affected.

Denso screwed up big time!

 

finally!!! an issue that missed me

 

Well I guess I am waiting for my recall notice..

 

Yup, 2020s now. My dealer included monthly carfax reports so I took a look and the recall is listed in there for mine as well.

 

At least if they remove the bed, you will know the bolts are tight. After discovering the u-bolts on the leaf springs were not much more than finger tight, I have been checking all the bolts on the truck. The bed bolts were way under torqued also.

 

I'm scheduled to get mine replaced the day after Thanksgiving. I stopped at the dealer about a month ago after I checked my vin at Toyota owners website and it said a remedy was available. They ordered the part at that time and said I'd get a call in 3 weeks I called today to get an update and they scheduled it. That was the earliest I could get.

 

I got mine done 2 weekends ago, seems to have more power and a bit better on fuel, am I the only one or others find this variable also?

 

I

Have a 2.7 and 100% smoother and I do not need my ect button since new pump. Haven't checked mpg

 

I just filled the truck up completely Monday, so im going to check it Monday when I fill it back up. I was getting 17.5 around about before, and its been averaging on the screen 18.5-19, so we shall see.

 

Ya’ll better not get my hopes up

 

im trying not to get my own hopes up lol

 

I thought it was my imagination about getting better mileage and better pickup.

 

I thought it was in the same category as the engine running smoother after an oil change.

 

At least it is not the airbag issue. Hope all goes well for those need the updated fuel pump

 

FYI its a lot more than Tacomas affected

I got my fuel pump recall done, and the next morning my check engine light came on.

 

Just checked my vin again. Looks like it’s updated cause my Truck is affected but no remedy. Had it replaced once by dealer before hand.
