    Pull the spark plugs and check them. It "may be time" for new ones.... and, BTW... you'll want NGK - IZFR5G, gapped at .032" (ignore any stickers on your engine that say otherwise).

    Not uncommon when you've had "rich running" conditions (and it sounds like you may have had "three" of them).

    Post back when you hear from the dealer. I'm sure you'll get a few or on the likelihood of the "explanation you've been given".
