At this time the Service Program is limited to 13".
https://support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-display-backlight-service
however if at any time it is expanded to include your 15", typically Apple will issue a refund for out of pocket expenses for parts & labor... Having a service ticket will be your receipt..."affected by this issue, and you paid to have your display repaired, you can contact Apple about a refund."
In the mean time—
please submit your feedback as well on your effected machine:

They replaced the screen for this problem?
The Genius Bar qouted us $700 for the repair as the problem didn't happen until AppleCare expired.. ...
Sign me up if Apple is now fixing these , like they have by court order for the 13 inch model.
Hi I am an Aussie too :) So just to confirm, this is a 15" Macbook Pro of which year please AND that's fantastic
Hi
My MacBook has the same problem so how can I do a claiming letter?
Same flexgate problem. MacBook Pro 15 inch 2016...
Lesson learned. Always wait 2 years before buying an Apple Computer to see if it actually works.
Wow that’s a huge step up in levels of BS
To be fair, I do have another brand laptop that has a display cable problem. It is however running Windows 95. Some of you guys weren’t even born when I bought it.
Is this lawsuit not for the new m1 MacBooks not the same case as we have?- https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/15/apple-false-marketing-fraud-macbook-displays/
I could be wrong but I’m afraid that’s different. But it is more evidence of ongoing crappy quality
I’ve recently encountered the same issue with my MB Pro 15 2017 after 4 years of use. In my case, display turns black beyond 80 degrees. Australia
I wonder why dock became *** .... weird
Same issue
Just shelled out over $700 to repair a 2017 model 15 inch crapbook prob that looks brand new but you can't open the screen more than 30 degrees before it turns off. Please add to recall. Thanks
+1 here, 2017 MBP 15" Apple want $1000 to fix it. Numerous threads online about this issue, how is there not a recall/service program for this?
