Yes, cross camber is off. If it's got warranty coverage yet, pursue a repair. If not , and it doesn't PULL one way or the other, save your money.
There are a couple people here who work/worked as a full time mechanics, so the answer is yes.
I am old school I can adjust alignment with a ruler and level (though it is tedious and may require taking/putting wheel a couple times).
Our Mirage while still within specs had not enough cross camber, and as a result would pull slightly to the side at highway speeds. Looked ok on machine and at lower speeds. After taking it twice to dealer I gave up and adjusted toe on one wheel to compensate.
On this car toe adjustment is really sensitive, 1/6 of the turn equals 0.2deg of the toe, YMMV
