Is there a way of identifying these softer camshafts ?

Was there a recall on these ?

ROH ECHT:
Yes...topic is camshaft sensor. But someone may pull this up regarding camshaft wear.
So, this is the tri-lobe specs. It only takes a loss of 1.0mm to 1.5mm for the HPFP to struggle to make its actual pressure match the target pressure.
