While the charge pipe was addressed, the service department ran the last before the warranty expires checks - oil filter housing oil leak fixed under warranty, valve cover oil leak fixed under warranty (granted to say, these leaks appeared to be just developing as I didn't see any oil residue on the garage floor, etc.). The front suspension struts were found leaking - not covered by the warranty.
Interesting that my head unit also died on my 2014 with 21,000miles on it last month and way out of warranty to the tune of $1,908.
