The hpfp was a mandatory recall. Not sure what you're looking at to show that it was never done--could be if the previous owner never went to a dealership in the last 5 years, it was in fact never done. If so, there shouldn't be anything to worry about because the vehicle has been functioning all this time. Next time you are in for service, ask them if there are any open campaigns.

Imho the pump was not faulty, and it did not affect a good portion of cars, but was replaced anyway. There were cars where the pumps failed over and over, and those car got wholesaled and are on the used market now. i.e. the root cause of the trouble was never determined.

I'm one of those who is the original owner, the hpfp was replaced, and it was never an issue to begin with.
