The tank is plastic, no reason to replace itRight, I know the recall doesn't involve the tank itself. I just saw others mention replacing the tank while at it. I was wondering if this was based on any known history of failure or decay.

I think the culprit 'flange' and the fuel filter are all one piece/part (Fuel Tank Dust Cover Filter) so a new filter should be covered. Depending on your mileage maybe do the fuel pump as well...at least have them test the pressure...that's what I will be asking them to do. The old part:Would it make sense to replace in tank pump and filter while this is being done?
Now THAT makes a whole lotta sense with potentially 110k+ vehicles to fix (which means they won't do it). Besides the dealers are probably rubbing their hands together in anticipation $$.I wonder if they won't use "authorized" independent mechanics to help out?

Yep, that's SOP. Hmm..might it be that scheduling an 'oil service' could help cut the line on one's recall repair?"upsell" the people bringing their Rovers in for service.
