I have a 5D that I got in February that started locking up & displaying
an Error 20 message [mechanical malfunction]. I sent it to Canon & it
was there for just under a week. They repaired it & sent it right back,
so it was gone for a total of about 10 or 11 days. They were pretty
prompt, I thought.
The note from the repair facility said that a cam gear had come loose &
they replaced it.
Now I only hope they reinforced the mirror while it was there!
Other than this, it's a superb camera, BTW.
Yeah, I've been very happy with my 5D...

You can check to see if they've done the mirror reinforcement by pulling
the lens and looking for two little brackets that are installed on the
left and right edges of the mirror, see:

although this may be one of those "if it ain't broke we ain't gonna fix
it" deals...
