Touch Bar white light

The MacBook Pro is just 2yrs an 3 days old and the Touch Bar makes completely crazy stuff. White light flashes randomly. Furthermore I see a clear beginning of a swollen battery. No clue what it is, but after just 2yrs for such an expensive device? Fortunately I have a 3 yrs warranty.
