result in some bad engine noise due to oil clearances for that rod and crank and also, how was your tech able to determine it was 3 weeks ago and not 2 weeks ago or a week ago

where i was heading with this was... if it's a car that dosen't see regular maintenance or goes somewhere like jiffy lube and is beat on... then maybe there is reason for doubt that the dealership is at fault. but as the OP said, it's been regularly dealer serviced, has service records, and isn't thrashed... wouldn't a rod cap that is going south make a hell of a racket before grenading if this was something that started weeks ago?
