There was a thread on this a few days ago. Visit this Macintouch
site for more on the problem: <http://www.macintouch.com/

We got in December 2004, which is about the same time as a lot of the
others on Macintouch. Wonder if we're dealing with something that
needs a recall or a class action suit?
Thanks for pointing that site out to me.

Since every iMac G5 sold since August 2004 is still under the 1-year
factory warranty, and since units with defective hardware are being
fixed under warranty, and since the iMac G5 20" I bought at the end
of May has critical parts that were redesigned to remedy the problems
revision 1 owners have experienced, the answer to your question is
no. If Apple refused to fix defective units while under warranty, or
after warranty expiration, of if Apple continued to produce units
with defective or failure-prone parts, then legal remedies might be
indicated.
On the other hand, I purchased the 3-year AppleCare extended warranty
on my iMac G5 as a prudent hedge against a post-1-year warranty
expiration failure. I also waited until revision 2 before purchasing.
I did this simply because of my past experiences and my concerns over
the still-unknown problems to be found in a new design as it ages. I
was unaware of the Macintouch reports when I bought my iMac G5, but
my experience with any first-generation manufactured product is that
problems will occur in the wild over time that didn't happen in the
lab or during testing trials, no matter how exhaustive or intensive.
