I see on the internet that Apple will replace 2012 & 2013 15" MacBook Pro's with a new one. Something to do with battery replacement.
I have a 2012 15" MacBook Pro, nothing wrong with it, but if Apple will replace it with a new one at no cost to me I'm all for it !

Some stipulations....

As a temporary solution, Apple's directive says customers may choose to delay battery service until inventory becomes available, in exchange for Apple covering the cost of the repair. Alternatively, to avoid the delay, Apple's directive says customers may exchange the MacBook Pro for a functionally equivalent model.

Secondly, the MacBook Pro must be in need of battery service. To check, click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the macOS menu bar, and then click on About This Mac > System Report… > Power. Under the "Health Information" section, the condition should say "Service Battery" or an equivalent status.
