After calling Toyota, it is indeed covered under the 60 month/60k mile powertrain warranty. Some chat on the internet about this issue seems to indicate that they are replacing the water pumps with a new part number. This could be a minor revision and it is unrelated, but if not, hopefully it means a better/improved part.
My vote then goes to stealership
