Google confirms Pixel 9 Pro display faults, announces free repairs

According to Google, if your Pixel 9 Pro or Pro XL’s screen develops a vertical line running from the bottom to the top or if it flickers, you may be eligible for free repairs under the new Extended Repair Program.

Google is offering free display replacements for eligible devices for up to three years from the original retail purchase date. This applies only after a repair center has inspected and verified the issues on your Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL.

It’s also important to note that not every Pixel 9 Pro or Pro XL will qualify for the Extended Repair Program. Google says that phones with cracked screens, damaged cover glass, or signs of liquid intrusion will not be considered for screen replacements under the new program. However, if your unit doesn’t qualify, you can always opt for standard warranty coverage (if applicable) or pay for out-of-warranty repairs.

Google’s Extended Repair Program for the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL is now live. Users can access repairs through Google walk-in centers, authorized service partners, or online repair options. Any repairs completed under the extended program will be covered by a 90-day warranty.
