Apple has rolled out a display backlight service program for the 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro. 

The company has determined that a very small percentage of 13-inch MacBook Pro displays may have display backlight issues where they stop working completely or show vertical bright areas along the entire bottom of the screen. 

The display backlight issues affect the 13-inch MacBook Pro with two and four Thunderbolt 3 ports, and these models were sold between October 2016 and February 2018. 

Affected users can go to the Apple Store or any Apple Authorized Service Provider to have the display repaired for free. The service program is valid for four years after the first retail sale of the unit.
