I have replaced a bunch of these thin line receptacles in my wiring mods... Never really found one mis-wired per say but there sure isn't much room to move one or tie another receptacle in line with one... There is also hardly any slack with the ROMEX cables going from receptacle to receptacle as well...
Also when removing one since these are the pinch wire types as soon as you touch the solid wire that has been marked by the pinch wire it breaks into...
I just pull them out and replace with the standard house type 120VAC receptacle that uses the wiring screws for connections which are not slimline type receptacles...

This makes you have to install them in a standard PVC Electrical box to meet code...
If I had the wall space available I would remove and replace everyone of them...
Assuming you purchased your 2016 model new and no previous owner has done any electrical changes to it...
