Thin red line across Touch Bar

Just purchased a new MacBook Pro 13 inch and there is a thin red line appearing across the entire top of the Touch Bar. I cannot find anything as to what this may mean or how to turn it off. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

The Touch Bar is a very small touch-sensitive display.


There are no pervasive issues that match what you described.


that leads me to believe your TouchBar has a Hardware defect.

If within 14 days, and you purchased DIRECT from Apple you can exchange it for a new one.

Otherwise, it is likely a repair.
