Could be nearly worn out brushes. Check the voltage while driving from cluster hidden menu. Still a bit strange if the light was still on when you measured normal charging voltage in engine bay.

Right. And if Bosch brushes wear out that fast, I won't be buying another Bosch alternator.

Ah, just reading your first post again. Not likely just after 40k miles.
