i dont know it might be it is a mechanical issue for sure. so my best guess is if you get the chirp and they come out with the final fix, they will most likely contact you if they are a decent dealership. my dealer told me if there are any issues on the TSB list that need to be fixed they will contact every owner that they have sold a car too. they just practice excellent customer satisfaction and great business
Johnston's Toyota of middle town NY gotta say im quite impressed.
the reason it could very well be a recall is because it is the Plunger on the pump that is not seated properly. my guess is that it may not be the exact perfect size or good material that it causes a squeak. since it is a mechanical thing, it will break or wear out over time, that being said it could cause a HPFP failure. but so far the highest milage to date that i know of is somehwhere around 10,000 miles. not enough in my experience as a mech to wear it out all the way. since it is being sort of lubricated by fuel and ethanol. some have thought it is caused by Ethanol but im not too sure thats the case. only time will tell i really hope it can be fixed cause its sort of annoying to me hearing a chirping sound in a brand new car.
