Short answer is "Yes".
Long answer: I bought a 13" MacBook Pro Retina of late-2013 build from B&H. It crashed hard on the third day, and became unbootable a few days later. Item was new old stock, not refurb. In this case, B&H made good by shipping a replacement (at lightning speed, I might add). After it works for awhile, this replacement is getting AppleCare to ensure Apple is responsible for any further flakiness.
Even though my work MBPr 15" of the same vintage was error free for 2+ years, I expect and accept a lower grade of hardware QC from Apple in order to enjoy the feature set. I guess we can blame Foxconn manufacturing. Sadly, I can't run OSX on my Panasonic Toughbooks: four models, zero failures, all operational, 10-years old for the oldest.
What a real laptop looks like!
