If you didn't hit the Mode button on the wheel, you may have a short in the wheel wiring. If it keeps happening sporadically, take it back to the dealer. If you get an air bag warning light, which can also be caused by a wiring problem in the steering wheel, call the dealer immediately! You don't want that triggering unless you really need it.
