Yes I believe this campaign to replace leaky pumps was for 11 CBFAs only through 120,000 miles. Mine was covered by VW.
Mine is 2012 CBFA and covered under recall. I replaced 2 WP under warranty before recall was issued. I opted not to install new pump under recall since my current pump is the latest revision and no leaks for last 15K, instead I made a deal with the dealer, where I get the pump in the box and free oil change and dealer can pretend that they completed the work under recall.

IF your engine is a CCTA, your SOL. You have 3 options:
1. replace it yourself
2. pay an independent shop
3. deal with the stealership and hope those incompetent mofos don't mess up the work

Yes because independent shops are all highly paid and highly experienced techs. You can get a shit tech anywhere.
I can't count how many independent jobs I've had to fix because their all data bs was wrong.
Just ask around how many WP were replaced "again" because the VW tech botched the initial replacement. Go ahead...I will wait.
How do we know the reason for the failure?
There's so many reasons thsee pumps fail, I can't speculate on the entire situation across the USA let alone globally. Like I said there's good and bad techs everywhere.
Let's just leave it at the design isn't great. I've done waterpumps on vehicles with under 1k miles.
