Ive had it happen in either really heavy downpour of rain or snow/icy conditions where the sensors were blocked by very heavy rain or the ice/snow.
Did you possibly have something blocking the sensors such as trash that fell off after you got home? Just another thought. I'd see if it continues to be ok or if it comes back. If so, then looks like a trip to the stealership for diagnostics.
Good luck

Generally speaking, no. The powertrain and the warning/safety devices are two independent systems.

BUT.....IF the warning is caused by low voltage that could be a concern.

In any event, the easiest solution is simply having the dealer diagnose the problem. As a MY2013 your 450 should still be under warranty, no?
