Cluster plus the fact you can see the halo effect in these would have me concerned. Have only seen one camera with a problem after Pentax's stated December manufacture date but it is possible.
As a wet clean doesn't sort it I would be considering another return .. maybe I will check mine in the morning.

I'm in the same boat!...I keep putting it off as they don't seem to have solved the problem

If it's an inherent manufacturing defect, it should be covered for up to 6 years under European law.
I think Pentax are going to be replacing these for years to come.
Is it really Pentax's fault though, or Sony's, the sensor manufacturer?
Are there other cameras using the same sensor from other makers?

Like said it's a manufacturing defect.my k-r sensor his crystal clear, his my camera covered the whole 2 years against these ? its a royal pain in the a--e i know that
There is a filter infront off the sensor and the dirt is sandwitch between it so if it's there it's there if not then not.
