It’s the 2017 model. 2 ports, non Touch Bar.
Then you should be covered for 4 years after the purchase date.
You can always call Apple, give them the serial # and purchase date and they can verify it's coverage.

Wait. Sorry to rehash this topic again but has a consensus been agreed upon regarding if the replacement program is (for example with my 17’ MBP-non touchbar) for 4 years from the date it was released by Apple OR 4 years from my personal purchase date?
I purchased it on March 12th, 2019.
On the phone w/ AppleCare right now. After visiting the Apple store and showed them the attached photo, the Apple store employee told me the program is for 4 years from the date the MBP was first sold by Apple. Meaning my 2017 MBP would be eligible for the replacement program from June 5th, 2017 till June 5th, 2021.
However, as I mentioned I'm on the phone with AppleCare and they are saying it's from the date of my purchase, so March 12, 2023.
The concern is those 2 years between June 5th, 2021 and March 12, 2023 if something does go wrong w/ my keyboard and Apple says I'm not eligible. I only got my MBP over a month ago but it 've been babying this new MBP so as to prevent any dust to get near the keyboard. This is the first time in owning a MacBook since 2005, for over 14 years, that I'm proactively not eating any food while using my MBP, for fear of even a bread crumb falling in.
And for people thinking I'm overreacting, it's obvious that Apple is not admitting that is an issue bigger than it really is, so I feel it may be only a matter of time until his happens. Im hoping it doesn't but I want to be prepared.
[doublepost=1555538214][/doublepost]I GOT A CLEAR ANSWER FROM APPLE:
Keyboard replacement warranty program extends from initial release of product, so June 5th, 2021 for the 2017 MBP.

I think you are misreading this statement.
The item you circled says "first retail sale of the unit". The "unit" is the one with your serial number, not the start of sale of the product line. Read up above when it takes about backing up your "unit" before you send it in. That statement is obviously talking about you backing YOUR system, not all of the millions of year model "units" manufactured and sold.

Question: I just got a 2017 13" MBP w/o bar to replace my 2017 12" MB. These both have the same 2nd-Gen butterfly keyboard, correct? Thanks!
