I just called Apple Care, and they told me that they know about the reported issues affecting the Mac Pro. They added that only Mac Pro manufactured in 2007 are subjects to such issues, and my Mac Pro built in early 2008 would not be affected.As Mac Pro are manufactured or assembled in different locations worldwide (Ireland, China), it remains impossible to know if it is linked to a defect in manufacturing process, or a defined part such as the PSU that is responsible for those fumes or smelling.
When I asked to get an official written statement, I had to hold on for 40 minutes while Apple Care representative was asking to his hierarchy if such information could be sent. I finally ended up with Apple Customer service that refused to sent me a written statement about this issue.
I could discus with a "level 2" Apple Care representative who informed me that "we can not sent you any email till Apple released an official statement, even to confirm that your Mac Pro is not among those affected." As Apple did not react early 2007 when the first affected Mac Pro were spotted, one can not know if they will ever react...
