Seems the problem showed up pretty quick. The first MBPs shipped in March, and by the second of May bloggers were posting about the silent recall: sprintpcsinfo.com

"The thing with this specific issue is that the batteries are fine for a few months. Hard to see how Apple could have tested for something that doesn't manifest as a problem for such a long time." Allen, Do you seriously believe that? Come on! My point is that batteries are low tech compared to all the other components in the computer and hence shouldn't have had that problem. What happened to the supplier of batteries going in the current/outgoing Powerbooks? How different are the MBP and PB that a battery problem occurred with the MBP and was not prevalent in the PB?
