Common problem, Happened to me at 7000. Brake sensor. Since it’s attached to the brakes they will replace both front brakes under warranty. If it wasn’t warrantied item costs over $900 as for my service adviser

I heard the same. So will this keep happening with the replacement set?

I had the same message at around 8000 miles and I took it to the dealer. Diagnostics couldn't pinpoint a problem so they applied dielectric grease to the contact points and 800 miles later no code.

Had the same issue, it was in the wire for the sensor. Tech hooked up a Ohm meter and wiggled the wires and you could see the failure. Replaced under warranty. Seems like a common issue.
