No

I suggest, if you take it for service as you're under warranty, go to a Cummins service facility, not Spartan.

I usually have to add a little bit when colder weather sets in.

I've heard of cases where the coolant tank (overflow) is cracked. Yours is too early for that I would think but it's a potential source for leaks.

My sample size is 1. I've never had to add coolant. However, I don't know if FL is doing anything during annual visits but I've never seen the need.

Coolant leaks in Cummins engines, without evidence of external leakage, is often associated with an internal leak in the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system. These can be very hard to find. Been there.
