Mac Book 12" (early 2016) kernel panic IONVMeController.cpp:4949 My Problem:

Mac Book 12" (early 2016) in use for 1 year without any problem suddenly stopped while working and now cannot be started again / shows this panic report on startup:

panic(cpu0 caller 0ffffff7f90224e1): nvme: "Fatal error occurred. ID=0x95 ARG1=0x221 ARG2=0x4 ARG3=0x5 EDD0=0x0 EDD1=0x0 EDD2=0x0 EDD3=0x0 EDD4=0x0 EDD5=0x0 EDD6=0x0 EDD7=0x0. NAND Vendor=0x1.

Things I've already tried:


Ran Apple Hardware Test (Hold R on startup) 


This showed a passing "No issues found" ADP000 reference code.


Reset NVRAM (Hold CMD+,OPT+P+R) 
Reset System Management Controller (Shift+Control+Option+Powerbutton) 
Ran safe mode (Hold Shift key on startup)
Ran verbose mode (Hold CMD+V on startup)


None of them worked, panic still appears


Ran Startup Manager (Hold Option on startup)


MACINTOSH HD appears for 2-3 sec, then it disappears and a black screen with the wifi selection remains. If I plug in a bootable USB Thumb Drive it appears.


Ran Recovery mode (Hold CMD+R on startup)


This got me to the typical 4 option boot up menu when installing OSX. When I go into Disk Utility to try and repair, my internal drive is not listed at all. The only drive that is listed is the drive for the Internet Recovery OS install.


Booted Ubuntu from a Thumb Drive (Create a bootable installer for
macOS - Apple Support) using the Apple USB C AV Multipart Adapter


Works, but does not show an internal drive. 

What I think:

The SSD could be the problem. I wanted to remove it and test it on another computer, however, this is not easily achievable (https://blog.macsales.com/29795-owc-tear-down-of-new-12-macbook-reveals-ssd-not-user-upgradeable) and I do not want to endanger the warranty. 

Any ideas whats going on and how to fix?
Depending on where you are the guarantee period is 1 year or two years from the acquisition date. However, even if you are over the date I expect that it will be repaired by Apple. The "SSD" is soldered on the board, you can do nothing yourself.
