I can sort of back this up. I had one where the wire pulled out of the body of the device after only a few months of use. I didn't abuse it in any way. I brought it to the pro shop at the gym I climb at and they replaced it for free but claimed that it could happen again as they had seen this happen to a lot of the VC Pro IIs. I am surprised WC hasn't recalled them.
P.S. They are still completely safe when the wire pulls out, they just wouldn't be very easy to belay with.
