One of the first thing NHTSA can do is to ask for additional data....
Say around October this year... when data for the summer should be in.
If failures are tailing off, that may suggest a running change... which is not bad news.. mean there is a fix.
More interestingly.. is there a change in warranty administration policy?
October 1st will be the start of the failure season. It takes a while from the damage starting in the summer, until the cumulative final effect of complete failure takes place. I've no idea what the seasonal summer temperatures are of locales in Australia, nor do I know what their smog requirements or rail pressures are down under, nor fuel lubricity standards for D2. Can't see it being as stringent as North American Tier 2 Bin 5 pollution standards, which precipitated this whole HPFP self destruction suffer session from Bosch.
