Default A Nikon DSLR story

Guy buys a D800. Has the left-focus issue. Gets a new one. Same
issue. Guy sends new one in for fixing. They send it back, but now
the focus is off (not by as much) everywhere. Seems they tried to
"average" the error. Guy goes to Nikon directly. He's asking them,
"just give me a new body." They are hemming and hawing.
In comes some photog with their new 800mm lens. Plops it down on the
counter and tells them there is something wrong with it, not
functionally, something physical. Camera repair people run off to get
a manager or something to deal with the guy who wants a new D800
body. The guy wanting the new body and the (evidently, his
description) "internet camera bigwig" start talking to each other.
Manager comes out and insists that they will repair the D800 the guy
already has, but won't give him a new one. Internet guy shouts, "Just
give him a new body!" Nikon gives the guy a new D800.


But did it fix the AF issue?
