Default dipstick plastic cracked and pieces are in engine?

hi guys,
Is this something to worry about? My dipstick's plastic crumbled and it's probably down in the engine somewhere.

Default did it go down the dipstick hole?

if so, just to be safe he should do an oil change. I had this happen a while back and it was a pita to get all the pieces out without some of it going down the dipstick hole.
