No second thermostat. Make sure your coolant level in the radiator and overflow bottle is topped up. Also check that the radiator fans come on when needed. It might just be a false high temp reading but don't ignore a "hot engine" warning. Take an infrared temp gun reading at the thermostat housing. Should be about 195-210F degrees.
