"Drivetrain: Check Soon" error message

I'm getting a Drivetrain: Check Soon error. Has anyone else experienced this?

Took it to service and they cleared the code, but it returned less than a day later.

One service advisor told me it is caused by low battery voltage due to too many short trips. My commute is not long (15 miles), but this doesn't ring true as I drove it a lot the day of the first error and also for many miles the day I picked it up from service and received the same error again.

A second service advisor told me it was absolutely caused by my aftermarket exhaust I have Eisenmann Race rear mufflers only. If this were true, I would expect to see dozens of other board members with the error.

I love it when service blames issues on anything aftermarket. "Sir, your engine blew up because of your aftermarket gas cap."
