From Apple:

Apple has determined that a limited number of 128GB and 256GB solid-state drives (SSD) used in 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) units have an issue that may result in data loss and failure of the drive. 13-inch MacBook Pro units with affected drives were sold between June 2017 and June 2018.

Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) will service affected drives, free of charge. Apple recommends having your drive serviced as soon as possible.

This program does not affect 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar or older 13-inch MacBook Pro models.

Apple has a serial number checker on the program’s webpage so you can see if your MacBook pro is included.
