It's never done it again (I've got 12,000 km on it now), but the fact that happened at all suggests the issue has not been addressed for >=2014 models.

However, there's no consistency as to when it permanently fails. I've read of anywhere from 1,000 to >70,000 miles mentioned by members....
That was your master cylinder ... not the slave. They are both shitty and prone to failure. Slave usually fails catastrophically, stranding you on the side of the road. Master sometimes fails and then pressure may return.
