Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Toyota FJ Cruiser

I have been having nothing, but problems with keeping my fj alive. It won't even keep a hold longer than a few hours. I have also had problems with the fuel tank as I can never go lower than 1/4 of a tank because it will die. I have read that other fjs have had their fuel pumps replaced under recall and I would like mine done as well.

My Toyota Fj Cruiser 2008 "fuel pump" failed to indicate the amount of gasoline I had in the tank, the car completely stop working on the freeway while I was driving approximately at 70 mph right in the fast lane, the car/motor just ugly shook and suddenly it stall/shut down. . . Luckily the cars behind me were able to maneuver their cars and avoided a possible crash. I tried to start the car again and gave me some forward jumps until I got it off of the road. The gas panel indicator was still reading 1/2 filled tank but not gas inside tank. . . I called freeway service patrol (511) and they offered me a gallon of gas, as I run out (they saved my day). I thought this was just one hit wonder problem but not the car has been getting me in trouble ever since now my wife drives it too, she or me assume there is still gas in the car and out of the blue I wind out carrying gas in a red gallon. . . I asked mechanics if they can replace but they said no easy - access to replace the pump is not well designed to extract the fuel pump and the floor mats on the car and the rear seat must be removed and some how the car will have some cosmetic damage. . . Best is to lower the full gas tank from underneath but there is also a problem as the wire connector length are extremely short and they must be cut out and add extensions after replacing pump and may affect sensor lights. . . And repair for that is quite expensive. The car pump goes up when full tank but as gas is used needle stops at 1/2 mark and there is no way to tell if I have gas- I had experienced 8 time stalls, luckily no accidents - I found this online and called Toyota but they are unaware of this recall: "if stall pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. The recall began may 4, 2020. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371" is it true?.
