Check engine light came on with error code P0420 indicating an issue with the catalytic converter. Just past the 130,000 km warranty. Mechanic recommended resetting the code. It comes back on every few weeks but a $25 ODB2 adapter clears it. Was told to ignore the problem. Seems to have no effect on drivability.
