Apple has acknowledged in a tech support article that some Magsafe adaptors may be faulty, and that users “may notice a separation of the white insulation on the magnetic end of the Magsafe adapter. Under continued use, the cable may discolor and the rubber molding may become deformed.”
As noted by APC Mag, if you’re one of the affected users, Apple will replace your Magsafe adaptor for free, whether you’re in your initial warranty period or not. If you think your power adaptor is affected, either take it into an Apple Authorized Reseller, or book an appointment with a Genius at an Apple Store.
