Default flashing red warning light

2500 miles on car. When I changed out the winter wheels at dealer and left I had a warning light come on windshield on way home; could not tell what the warning message symbol was as it disappeared after a few seconds and there was no dashboard malfunction message.

Called dealer and he had no idea but said watch to see if it happens again.

Hasn't happened until today- about three hundred miles later- flashed again while exiting highway and taking a corner at about 60 mph (not excessive); flashed again on the windshield for about two seconds and then disappeared. Still have no clue what the symbol on the windshield meant as I was watching the road.

very curious if anyone has an idea.

Red warning lights are reserved for important things. Since it started when you had wheels changed, I would check the brake fluid level. It OK if it's a little low. It's a concern if it's down below the "Min" level.

It shouldn't be a oil pressure issue or a check engine light. Try to see what the symbol looks like.
