Do yourself a favor, Google up "Bosch CP 4HPFP failure" and read every piece you come across. Then get back to us... the only manufacturer that is owning up to the issue is GMC / Chevrolet, which is why you hardly see or hear a peep out of customers on the internet about GMC / Chevrolet. Because they pretty much warranty it, no questions asked, even though they've had failures.
If you read a bit more, you'd also know that Ricatic has a neighbor that was a former employee of Bosch, that knows the story. He no longer works for Bosch, probably a feeling of guilt working for such a crappy company when it comes to warranty repairs and owning up to it.
Volkswagen of America sends their wasted, failed HPFP's back to Bosch for remanufacturing, by the pallet. That's correct, by the pallet. No correction or changes to design. BTW, in the beginning, Bosch had a huge dirt contamination problem during assembly, with steps in QC being skipped, the micron size of the dirt or material from finish machining not being removed before final assembly, sometimes causing failure on the first tank of diesel fuel in VW sedan models, golf, jetta, jetta sportswagen, and Beetle, as well as the Audi A3.
