Given that this is part of the fueling system, it's not unreasonable to think that there might even be associated software changes required as a result of any hardware change. All of this to say that there is no path to an assured fix short of just waiting for Toyota to do it, on their timeline. Anyone who is concerned enough that they fear driving their vehicle in the meantime might consider asking their dealer to cover a rental car. I'm sure they won't volunteer to do so, but I heard of it happening with owners affected by the Takata airbag recall.
Agreed. I think it's Denso who made the pump, and they have a decades-long relationship with Toyota. I can imagine Toyota is leaning on them pretty hard right now - Denso has a lot to lose, and other suppliers would love that contract. Once a resolution is arrived at, I'm sure they'll simulate millions of miles of testing before releasing a fix. There must be thousands of process items to address with even the most minor recalls.
