They've known about it for a long, long time, and it is definitely not a rare issue.
Search for "rust" in this forum.

Here's my thread from a year ago
http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...highlight=rust
I'm not sure how "common" it is, but it's happened with all of my MP10's (4 of them) and 1 MP40 but not the other MP40, so that's 83%. It affects the new QD ones as well, and the people I know who have never had rusted MP pumps are by far in the minority.
At best it can be described as not uncommon, and it happens so regularly that my opinion is if you have 4 MP pumps and they go 4 years without any signs of rust then you are extremely fortunate. Whenever anyone I know has mystery SPS issues I tell them to check their MP pumps, at least 25% of the time they have rusted MP pumps and the issue goes away after they're replaced.
