It is quite possible.

The whole early tune direct injection/CEL issue was all due to the OEM tune. I believe CSG stated after they had their engine failure that third party tunes were more reliable than OEM.

The biggest issue I have with this engine is not peak output (hp or torque), but the torque dip and reliability (took me way too long to try to get a new tune from the dealership). There never was a recall or anyway to get the tune just as a preventative measure. Having to use some loop hole TSB (Rough Idle) to get the dealer to get a tune just rubs me the wrong way.
