I missed the part where the clinical analysis provided here identified specific "batches" of pumps. Please provide a reference to the data. To isolate to batches is self defeating for this forum because it moves it from a design flaw to a manufacturing flaw.
Yes more than the pump itself, the flawed design is the fact it can do so much collateral damage with a failure.
When you look at how much redundancy Bosch built into the fueling programming for failed sensors, default settings, and the motor still being able to run with failed sensors, it boggles the mind that Bosch built ZERO redundancy into the HPFP, and evidently did zero research in HPFP failure modes. There are some teams at Bosch that deserve walking papers for such oversight.
I am thankful Bosch doesn't design fueling systems for power plants on planes or rocket ships.
