In owners' own words
While driving at Highway speeds fuel pump failed resulting in near miss collision on Interstate. Initial fuel pump was replaced with recall. This is second pump that failed. Vehicle towed to Bob Tyler Toyota in Pensacola Fl where fuel pump replaced by owner. Toyota refuses to pay for pump even though class action lawsuit resulted in Toyota being responsible for reimbursement. Vehicle has only 36000 miles. Fuel/propulsion system
The subject vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This may result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.

Truck is currently sitting in Toyota service lot for next 2 months due to fuel pump recall. Truck is unsafe to operate and will die anywhere randomly they have no fix until end of september 2020 when parts come in. Wish they would buy it back, so that I can go buy a dependable truck instead of sending loan payments to a truck that's not in my possession for over 2 months Fuel/propulsion system · reported at 32,000 miles
