Default 2016 puked antifreeze out

Hi my new 2016 puked antifreeze out the other night it looked like it spilled out by the radiator fill tank but couldn't see where it came out of. It has less than 500 miles on it, It doesn't run hot since it happened any thoughts on what to look for on this car? Thanks, Tom

At least two members have had bad coolant reservoirs. The opening for the radiator cap was out of round and would not allow the cap to seal and reservoir to pressurize properly.

Just my $0.02 worth

Geez, I've seen on the forum others stating this, but not with 2016's. Any other 2016's with this problem? I hope I don't get it!

I'd ask the dealer to replace the cap on the reservoir.
