They are documented: NHTSA holds 75 owner complaints naming the fuel system on this model year (34% of everything owners filed about it), and 2 recalls are filed under the same heading. Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count, and a count says nothing about how many were sold.

When do fuel system problems show up on the 2019 Toyota Tacoma?

Owners who gave an odometer reading reported it at a median of 8,000 miles; half of them between 5,000 and 14,000. That is when reports cluster, not the life of a part.

What does NHTSA's "Fuel/Propulsion System" heading cover?

Fuel tanks, lines, pumps and injection — and on an EV, the propulsion battery and motors. Owners choose the heading when they file, so it says which area of the vehicle the complaint is about, not which part failed.
