I'm posting the dealer recall letter to my Google Drive folder and hosting it there for anyone to download and use for your own purposes. There is a lot of misinformation about this recall so best to provide the actual facts as they are currently situation for the US market in 2020.
I am also offering to check your VIN against the Toyota database to see if your recall has been done already (basically to see if you qualify to have it done for free or for a reduced cost through your local dealer).
Now, whether your local dealer honors the recall or does it for free/reduced pricing is up to the local dealer and region in which you reside. I will not say that you can get it done for free as I have seen other dealers charge owners for the labor and provide the parts for free or vice versa.
Some of the part numbers on the list have been discontinued thus workarounds will need to be done (basically some hoses). Some dealers won't do a recall if parts are discontinued; some dealers won't do the recall at all and make you buy the parts. So, it's really inconsistent unfortunately based on the region you are in. Sometimes, I have seen people complain to Toyota directly and get some results.
In any event, here is the document.
If you are unsure about whether the recall has been done, please contact me directly and I can provide you with the information necessary so you can provide to your dealer to have the work done.
I can also provide parts procurement services if you want to go in this direction as well.
For FJ62 owners, unfortunately the gas tank is discontinued from Toyota and no longer available. I recommend an aftermarket tank from Long Range Automotive as a good option.
Best.

I called on Monday and apparently the original PO was "Johnny on the spot" with getting the gas tank and seat belt recall done. It was done on August 1992 and they provided me with case number.
