EOS 1Dx Mark II straight blue lines on images

I'm experiencing a straight blue line about 10 pixels wide running across the image at around the first third. It seems the artifact happens when shooting in low light conditions with longer exposure. Anybody else with this problem or any clue how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks_A8I3377.jpg

"You should let Canon take a look at the camera."

 

You should heed this and my advice instead of just fixing it in post. It is of little concern if you can fix it, if there is a problem with the sensor or its supporting electronics. Fixing after the fact is hardly a cure. Call Canon support. 1 (800) 652-2666

Yeah it is an easy fix but should it be there?  A one pixel wide vertical line is caused by a hot pixel. It then triggers the pixels next to it in the same line to get "hot" also. It seems to me as sensors get better they seem to be affected more and/or have more issues with hot pixels. However, a malfunction of a component on one of the circuit boards that is reading the image information output from the sensor can also cause this effect.

 

I believe a call to Canon is advised. 1 (800) 652-2666
