I've never claimed that Bosch was going to do something about this.
You said "NHTSA" was going to do something way back then. You seem like you think they still will.
I said way back then "no they won't" and still say they won't.
How long are we going to have to wait until the NHTSA does something?
Bottom line is: First gen Bosch pumps are junk just like first gen Bosch LB7 injectors. That was a 5 grand job.
Did NHTSA do anything about first gen LB7 Bosch injectors? Nope. Did they do anything about 6.0 diesels? Nope. Are they going to do anything about first gen CP4 pumps? NOPE!!
Jump up and down all you want about this pump issue. It's good exercise. :B
As long as the case at NHTSA remains open, and NHTSA keeps holding Ford, Chevy, GMC and whoever's feet to the fire, I am good with it. The file case is still open, after 5 years. Vw and Audi keep on fixing them... and folks keep filing complaints to NHTSA, so that wheel keeps on squeaking, and VW keeps on having to grease it.
Bosch keeps eating it too, on all those pumps. I view Robert Bosch as the Lucas "prince of darkness" for german sector cars. They've been making failure prone junk******for MAF's since 1998 in Vw product, falure prone condenser packs per spark plug in 1.8T Turbo's for ever, and on, and on, and on.
When human lives get lost and someone gets killed by a failed HPFP... the lawyers are going to have a field day with Robert Bosch with offering a HPFP that was not "fit and suitable for use" on north American D975 520 wear scar micron fuel. It's called fraud. Their pump requrements demand 460 micron fuel, America's fuel is 520 micron wear scar, not enough lubricity, yet they still brought the pump to market here in the USA, knowing the lack of lubricity in our fuel.
There will never be a recall. I hear there are folks that are wrecking their pumps just before going out of warranty, to get the newer updated version, instead of the 1st generation pump sitting in their vehicle.
