Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 1,525,742 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 99% of the 14,462 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 491. It covers model years 2017 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 10 times before this, most recently in March 2020 as 20V162000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 36 of the 65 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5,892 complaints with NHTSA, 1,843 of them before this campaign was filed. 223 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2016, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V876000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V028000 (fuel system, gasoline), 24V275000 (air bags), 23V865000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on November 4, 2020 as campaign 20V682000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
