Intermittent map light malfunction. Seems to only occur during cooler weather, so was not able to reproduce at the dealership. Nonetheless, replaced entire map light assembly under warranty. Update: it's been almost a year. Issue did not reoccur. Repair successful.

Visor mount was hanging loose; there was a screw missing. Screw added, which fixed the issue. May have been related to the last trip to the shop for reading light issue.
