Awesome, thanks. Anything I should do beyond asking the dealer to replace it?

Do it yourself and install the @Billman250 TCT! 20 minutes of effort. Search the forum for confirmation...

This. Dealer will just install another OEM one which will eventually do the same thing again.

Unless you spend 15 minutes looking for a couple of wrenches it takes much less time. I didn't even change from dress slacks and shirt the process is so easy (and clean).
