Warranty on Replaced Butterfly Keyboard

I had the keyboard replaced on my 2016 15" MacBook Pro several weeks ago through a local Apple Store under the Keyboard Replacement Program (butterfly keyboard). I forgot to ask the rep at the Genius Bar - what is the warranty on this new keyboard since it's another butterfly?


I'm just wondering since the original one started having problems (non-responsive keys and double/triple characters) after 3 years of use. Would this new keyboard still be covered under the replacement program a couple years from now if it begins to have similar problems?


Thanks

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

90 days parts and labor.


The hypothetical I can not answers. You can see when you get there.


You can read for yourself some of the caveats:

The program covers eligible MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models for 4 years after the first retail sale of the unit
