No, BUT I bet the great majority of cases of 'missing' coolant never bothered to top off the system when new. You ALWAYS have to top off coolant in new cars; some more than others. It takes several complete heat/cool cycles to purge air from the system. It's the same with oil, brake fluid, etc. You need to top them all off so you know if you have a consumption problem/leak or not.
