1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 04/14/2017

Fuel delivery system - my fuel sensor gradually stopped working and now my fuel gauge is not working at all. Recently my car is hesitating when I accelerate in all 5 gears and I was told it may be the fuel pump or fuel line. Last week I took it in for an oil change and was given a notification of a recall for the fuel delivery system. When researching the recall by the VIN# it is not listed but if I search by make and model it is listed. Not sure what to do at this point.
