If the pumps die after 300,000 miles they'll probably shrug and say "well that's the design life, here's the cost of a replacement pump", if they're setting vehicles on fire to blowing up engines due to malfunction at 150,000 miles they'll probably issue a recall and a new part will be implemented.
Lancia was forced to buy back rusting Beta's, Ford recalled hundreds of thousands of vehicles for the cruise control catching on fire, Toyota issued a recall on their vehicles when the "sudden acceleration" debacle arose not to mention many other issues that got fixed by manufacturers (and a few that didn't). At this point I trust Toyota/Subaru, they're smart, they know that if there's any danger that it's in their best interest to fix it immediately. Not to mention the hundreds of engineers tasked with designing, testing, and manufacturing the pump.
