Default Eco boost engine light ?

Hi I have a 2012 ecoboost screw my truck has 8600 km on it, and the engine light just came on. I took the truck to the dealer to have it looked at and they told me that I need a new catalytic converter. I thought it was pretty weird that a new truck would need this part. The truck still runs great but it does have have the odd rough shift. And I've lost about 100 -150 km per tank off fuel. So my question is does this sound right to every one here. Thanks Shaun

I had a brand new 2010 Mustang GT and the cats fried a day off the lot. It happens- but get it fixed as soon as you can. The only warning was the engine light and horrible fuel mileage.
