Has your battery died/been replaced recently? This happened to me on Easter when my battery was dead and needed to be jump started. You can check for codes yourself and make sure there are not codes. The video below shows how to do so, if they code is old and been addressed it will have an H after it. If it is current and not been addressed it will have a C after it.

Could be.. there are so many electronics in these cars. Mine showed the message upon start up for about 120 miles and then went away. But I would definitely check the codes yourself just to make sure the dealer didn't miss something.
