I had the same issue with my 2016 V6 Touring. I followed the instructions on the TSB, replaced the starter with a Duralast Gold starter from Autozone ($400), & replaced the alternator (OEM) at the dealership. No issues at all. It has been over a year and a half.
I've gotten in the habit of installing the smaller, lighter, more powerful DL9990S in all of my older small block trucks that use the big heavy 3510 series starters. Never once had an issue with them.
Duralast gold ceramic. No issues at all
Duralast Gold pads are awesome at little to no brake dust
I've used Autozone's Duralast thermostats without issue on my old Integra.
I’ve had two D/L Alternators. Each has lasted 3 or 4 years.
I had them on my Z32 a few times, not bad, I wouldnt do track days with them, (well I did once they warped). But outside of that, for daily they are fine.
I went through 3 duralast nators on my wife's exploder before I got one that lasted more than 6mos. Aftermarket everything has mostly gone to shit.
I have experience with both shitty Autozone Duralast alternators and I would not purchase them.
I have shadow codes for my water pump because of it, and my voltage is not high enough at idle, and never surpasses 13.5ish volts. It whines loudly, and it doesn't make the same power as my last alternator contrary to the ratings.
Duralast thermostat? They are a piece of shit!
