Fuel pump on other RAV4 years
No other RAV4 model year has enough reports of fuel pump for a sheet of its own. See every RAV4 year.
What this problem usually is
A lot of fuel pump complaints are tied to a recall. Owners describe a car that stalled or wouldn't start, sometimes at highway speed, and many mention that a recall covers it and the part isn't available yet. Others paid for the pump themselves before a recall existed, or on a car the recall didn't include.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the fuel pump (27 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the fuel and propulsion cover the 2019 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.
Porosity in the engine castings may result in cracks than can allow coolant to leak internally and/or externally.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 27 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
