Another update, hopefully the last one. Since the recall was done in late February the fuel gauge was acting wonky. Sometimes it would be almost fine, but eventually it would show that it isn't. Not getting up to full on a fill-up, lowering in a slower or faster rate, going suddenly up, etc.
I took it back to the dealer. They claimed that there are two fuel pumps (with a secondary one in the passenger side) and two fuel floats due to the saddle shape of the fuel tank. First time I heard this, but I guess it makes sense. They said that they verified that the floats are free to move and then did a hard reset on the fuel monitoring system. This also reset the clock and the average MPG, but didn't change the throttle response (like would happen with a battery disconnect).
After I took the car the fuel gauge looked better (with almost 300 miles since the last fill-up, it showed over a quarter left, where it should be almost empty). After a fill-up the gauge went to full (or almost full - I don't remember if fully filled up sets the needle to slightly above the top mark or at it).
Fingers crossed this will be the end of this, but the dealer tech did say that if this doesn't help they will replace the pump assembly again.
