Apple has extended its Display Backlight Service Program for 13-inch MacBook Pro models from four to five years. This covers display issues that either cause vertical bright areas along the bottom of the display or the backlight to stop working completely. The programme is valid for some 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro models with two and four Thunderbolt 3 ports. The company had announced four years of free service for these models when the issue surfaced, which has now been extended to five years.
