It will take more than two months, imagine the amount produced in the factories by now. You think TOYOTA will just shove underground the first series pumps somewhere? They'll use those all up before a redesigned pump will see the light of public. And a recall is not necessary unless that pump suddenly blows up and causes bodily harm on the car's occupants. Like I have mentioned, if lubrication is involved, try a premix!
