Fully covering a major, known manufacturing defect like this for only 3 years from the date of original purchase doesn't seem too reassuring or customer friendly. I remember when a number of the Fuji S2Pro's were affected by a bad batch of sensors, Fuji replaced these for all affected cameras free of charge until they ran out of sensors (even 5 years later, Fuji was still honoring this recall). I would think Leica needs to come up with a much better, long term solution for their customers (and potential customers).

I also remember D600 and those perfect AF points (outer) on D800.
Anyone else? I mean, Nikon was soo fast to admit its their fault.. riiight?
To be fair, dSLR history is full of such flops. And if Im correct, this "cover glass" issue took pretty long to actually show.. not issue from day one (unlike some others, from other manufacturers).
Canon 1D Mark III.... and I bought two of them! That was a love/hate relationship. I loved the camera, its ergonomics, feature set... but they were 'in the shop' at Canon multiple times, more than any other camera I've ever owned. And the AF problem was IMO never truly fixed. As soon as the sun came out while shooting field sports, AF would suddenly be all over the place. Or, massive micro focus adjustment swings going from daylight to tungsten to fluorescent... and I could list more problems. And I still have both in part because I felt too guilty to pass them on to someone else. Oh, and the sensor cover glass in one cracked, too! Canon quoted ~$1500 at the time to replace it, but that was about the most I could even hope to get for the camera. It's now my #3 back up and I do shoot with it from time to time. Usually the arcing line through the image isn't that noticeable, unless you know where to look.
I should add this to the 'worst equipment mistake' thread.
But I digress...
