Software upgrade to make alternator kick on more often. Apparently there was a recall in November 2022 (via class action lawsuit), but I missed the window so I paid out of pocket for it

Left car for ~12 days without turning on, Battery died, Subaru checked battery and said it was DEAD AND BAD. Since I bought it at the Subaru dealership in November, it was under warranty so they replaced it for free

I still have the lifetime alignment from Firestone auto care for the life of the car. In 1 more alignment it pays for itself. The 2017 pre-alignment notes are very similar to the 2019 notes. The tech noted if something had happened to my front drivers side, I said no cause there’s nothing that comes to mind, and he suggested someone may have hit me. Kinda weird he didn’t say that last time on 2017 and my camber was off by the same magnitude (~6.4 deg).
