Default Oil Dipstick tube???!!!

Has anyone ever had the dipstick tube come out when they were trying to check the oil level on their cars? Yesterday I had the oil changed on my R, and when they went to check the oil level the dipstick tube came out with the dipstick. I've personally never had that happen on any other car before. Should I call the dealer to look at it right away, or can it wait the 3k until the 15K service? Should I just keep a close eye on the oil level and take it in if it starts to go down? Need some help, Thanks.

Whoa. That should never happen. It could be broken at the seal. It might cause you to leak oil, such as when driving down hill. Have the dealership look at it.
