Does AMD still ship 7900 XTX reference cards with the thermal problems from 2023?

I ordered a 7900 XTX from the AMD Europe shop, replacing a 6750 XT. 

I started reading online in anticipation of the card, and found out there was a small percentage of reference 7900 XTX hit with vapor chamber issues. 

Do we know if those units were fixed in stock? Or can I potentially receive a defective 7900 XTX from AMD EU?

Thank you

Considering AMD identified the faulty batch and publicly acknowledged this issue in Jan 2023 that would be particularly egregious if they were still selling defective cards from their own web store over a year later.

Ryzen R7 5700X | B550 Gaming X | 2x16GB G.Skill 3600 | Radeon RX 7900XT
Ryzen R7 5700G | B550 Gaming X | 2x8GB G.Skill 4000 | Radeon Vega 8 IGP
Ryzen R5 5600 | B550 Gaming Edge | 4x8GB G.Skill 3600 | Radeon RX 6800XT

While it is impossible to make a general statement, it looks like my card is OK. Closing the topic.
