HPFP Wait List Saga

[DubaiMarauder]

any chance you might be confusing Recalls?

there was a Y81 Campaign which was absolutely necessary to address Emissions issues before registration was possible.
the Z96 HPFP recall notice says "The State of California requires the completion of emission recall repairs prior to vehicle registration renewal", but i don't see anything definitive that states Z96 is an Emissions-related issue; instead it is repeatedly referred to as a "Safety Recall".

the part i found most interesting is hidden in the footnotes (as seems to be typical):
"If your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge and within a reasonable time, [emphasis added] you may submit a written complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590, or you can call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to safercar.gov."
i'd be curious what anyone who follows-through on that step learns.

i'd still be more interested in learning what *exactly* is different about these allegedly updated pumps we're supposed to be getting.

[EDIT:

@wingdog
i got my sticker in Nov without any fuss.]

There's your problem: California

so, my pump was replaced about a week ago while it was in for an unrelated Check Engine Light issue.

previously the same dealer had told me i'd have to schedule an appointment for an "Inspection" to determine if it had already contaminated the fuel system so they would know what parts to order before they did the replacement, but this time they reportedly had the parts in stock and it was handled alongside the other recalls and issues very matter-of-factly.

didn't get any paperwork, Users Manual Addendums, or stickers near the fuel filler as have been reported by some other folks. only sign anything had been done at all was a disturbance of the dirt pattern on the engine cover.

yeah, lucky you got it done. The one my dealer ordered for me that was "damaged upon arrival" which i'm calling BS on is still not back in stock for my swap. i wonder if they just moved me back to the end of the line.
