No. I am an Apple Service Tech (for a living) and I run serial numbers through GSX all day long. I know about every return program before any end user does. It was only the Brick adapters that were covered. The yo-yo adapters break if people are rough with them. Apple covered some users with yo-yo's because their serial number fell in a range that they were unable to verify if they had the old or new AC adapter. So they covered them anyway, and people mistakenly went out of their way to return a yo-yo adapter and got the exact same model in return. I have one that came with a Pismo 400 and it still works great. I have seen many with the same tell-tale breakage. The cable pulls out of the yo-yo part of the adapter. It's from people unwinding them *literally* like a yo-yo. What is most likely is that Apple is replacing them just to be nice and to further future relationships with customers. I've seen more obviously damaged units repaired in weirder situations. -- Kyle H.
