A few reports on replacements in this thread. Most of the other threads on the recall also have reports.

I inquired about it when I had my 90k and they didn’t know about it. I aked them to look into it and they said they could do it, but I had to have less than 1/4 tank of gas onboard. I had 3/4
Having mine done 11/25. Will see.
Can you link to one of the videos?
wrong ... just had to be 'less than full'.
If not 'less than full', they could drain fuel from the tank to avoid overflow from the fuel tank during the removal of the fuel suction assembly.

Uneventful ... dropped it off at 11:30am, picked vehicle up at 4:00pm.
Toyota indicates the actual repair time is approximately 2.5 hours for a Land Cruiser.
FYI, this seems to be a duplicate thread to this one started back in January: Fuel pump recall
Mine is getting done on Dec 11th. Dealer stated they need 5 hours for the job.
Cross posted with the other thread. A week later, my dashboard lit up this morning and the codes were P0171 and P0174. Lean running. Potentially the fuel pump doesn’t pump out enough fuel. Taking it back today to see.
Any other experiences? Ive heard that we need to remove drawers and such but also a conflicting view that they can access the pump via an access port under the rear seat. So which is it? Do i need to pull everything out of the cargo area? TIA?
There are too many threads on this topic. It's getting to the point that we need another forum just for this recall. Like they did with all the 300 series prediction/fortune teller threads (thank you!!)
The pump access may be under the seat, but I see no way to get the carpeting pulled up and out of the way if you have ARB drawers installed. Pic I posted in one of the other threads, this is looking forward, that plastic strip is the seam between the carpeting sections. It's not clamping down on the carpeting, but there's very little room under there:
At the least, you'd need to empty the drawers, pull them out, then unbolt the chassis they slide in and somehow prop it up at the forward end. Then put it all back together. I seriously doubt any dealership is gonna wanna deal with that, and I wouldn't want them to anyway. You gotta be kinda fidgety when re-installing, and I'm not confident they would take the time I would want. And, in my case, the removal is more complicated since I have this going on:

I may be completely wrong, but I believe the "seam" is merely Velcro holding the two sections of carpet together. If I'm correct, it would hopefully be a simple matter to pull the passenger section apart and forward to access the fuel pump. I certainly hope this is the case, as I also have ARB drawers and don't look forward to removing them. . .
