A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

Is P0174 a known problem on Toyota vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 57 manufacturer filings and 2 owner reports naming P0174 on 45 Toyota model years (2016–2020). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2019 Highlander (3 documents), 2018 Sequoia (3 documents), 2019 Tundra (3 documents).

Does P0174 on a Toyota mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
