Default VSC and other dash lights

I had the VSC light up with a host of other lights on my dash. I was pulling out of a parking lot when I noticed the beep and the warning lights. There was nothing noticeable about the way the car was running. I pulled over shortly afterward and turned the car off/on. The lights immediately went off and haven't come back (probably 35mi since the occurrence). I'm chalking it up to some transient blip in the O2 sensor, a misfire or some other gremlin.

Should I be concerned? I have to take it in for the recall stuff pretty soon. I suppose I could mention it to them at that time. However, after reading about this on other threads, it doesn't seem likely they will be able to do anything about it.

Did the lights stay on before you turned off the car, or did it just flash for a short time?

Stayed on until restarting the car. Haven't come back on since.
