Default Front brakes locked up while driving

Hello guys!

While I was driving with a friend of mine, suddenly the front wheels just locked up and I got the reduced engine power message and TCM message. The code on the TCM was 1287. I deleted the codes and I was all fine the rest of the night...
Now I'm a bit worried if this happens again under some spirited highway driving, then it might not be so much fun. The steering angle sensor was replaced in 2014 in the US about 10k miles ago. Anyone heard about the front wheels locking up before?
