anything to be concerned about?
My previous post alluded to No. But.......
If it happens again, look at the temp gauge, if it is closer to AL, then you may want to check if the engine is overheating. If the engine is overheating, you will want to take care of it immediately.
In any case, there are a few things for you to check.
1) Is the oil level at maximum?
2) Has oil and filter been changed in the past 5k KM or 6 months?
3) Is the coolant level 10 mm above maximum?
4) Has the coolant been changed in the past 50k KM or 3 years? Check coolant strength (buy one of those $5 testers).
5) Is there a CEL? Get it scanned at an autoparts store (or buy one for $50 up). Most times, this is not mentioned as "it has been on for the past year".
