Anyone know what this component is on fuel pump hanger??
Indeed it is capacitor (condenser) for stabilizing voltage / current flow on the fuel pump.
I believe one won't even know if that condenser is bad. In fact, pump will continue pumping gas without that. I really doubt whether it has an effect on what is displayed on the fuel gauge. It is used to stabilize the voltage on the pump for it to have a consistent amount of fuel flow where as the fuel sender mechanism is more of a resistance measuring system to check fuel level.

Driving home from my last day of work...retiring and my RX was having erratic idling and bad hesitation. Got the recall letter around a month ago and was waiting on some of contact from Lexus to schedule the replacement pump. Called dealer on the way home and made appt to leave it today. Part was ordered and they stated should have it in a few days. Have a loaner RX until mine is completed. Got to wonder if I hadn't called them when would they have contacted me as well as thousands of others effected!

They never called me on my fuel pump recall. I was on clublexus and noticed that some members noted that they were getting their recall done. I called and made an appointment and got it done. I was, however, expecting some sort of contact letter/phone con/email from Lexus about the availability of the recall. Never received anything.
Anyone else with this problem with this model and recall

Other than off a used or new assembly I would take a very clear closeup picture of the electronic filter and try to find an exact match of the printed specs, pinout and even brand type through Mouser Electronics or Digi-Key Electronics. ONLY through either of those companies. They are the two reliable suppliers of all kinds of electronics components in the U.S.
If the filter is a Nippon-Denso made part then it will not be possible to source it brand new by itself and as such another brand component would have to suffice (or get a good one off the same main assembly bought used).
Lex2K might have an opinion on this as well.

OEM is the best. I'm not sure if Nippon-Denso sells their own branded version of that part or if they even made it themselves to begin with. But I'd also say that a used assembly that has the same components in good working order would be a second best. It is rare to have issues with those components on the hanger itself and gasoline submersion keeps it clean and free of rust or corrosion.
Do an advanced exploded diagram parts lookup on Partsouq if you can't find the full assembly listed on MyLParts. Assuming the assembly is still available brand new you can track down the part number through either of those websites.
