Last Friday had a worn tire and now waiting on a recall to be fixed

I've been looking around at posts and can't find an answer about how long it takes a fuel pump to be replaced.
Anyways, Last Friday I woke up to notice that my front right tire was low. I took it to the dealership and found out that I need 3 tires replaced. (Thank god for tire and wheel warranty). The only tire that is good is the front drivers side. It seems like these RFT wear out fast, however I drive like a bat out of hell. I called later in the evening to see if my car was almost complete. My service advisor told me that it wouldn't be ready until after the weekend because of a recall on the fuel pump. Has anybody else had this recall taken care of, and how long did it take? 2013 f30 n55

My recall took under an hour...I expected it to be an all day job but to my surprise I was barely back home before they gave me a call. As for tires, check your alignment as there should not be one tire that has better tread than the rest. Also I would get a second opinion before you buy new tires from the dealer. I went in for my recall, and they told me I needed new tires (well I work at a tire shop so I asked how close they were). I was at 6/32nds on all four tires and he tried to tell me I needed a new set! If you don't know, that is only half way worn down with more than 20k left on them...pissed me off that they try to scam people out of money that don't know any better. All I can say is that the tire guys don't work directly for the dealership, so it's not a reflection on my dealer.

Also, tires normally come with mileage warranties, so if your tires don't last as long as they should, you can bring them back and get refunded for the mileage you should have left.
