This late 2014 models engine has been classified as critically damaged - all the coolant has pumped out into the fill area and the engine block is cracked. I had no warnings other than Coolant level too low, then a temp alert near the end of its demise.

A warning to anyone with this engine - do not take no for an answer if you start to get coolant/temp warnings - it could be your engine failing completely.
