Phone the garage and ask if there's a known fault that matches it.
Sometimes there are errata updates to software and systems that don't quite fall into the recall category and yet can be done with 5 minutes in the garage whilst you wait.
I'd try and determine how much time you may be without the van, and whether this is even known, before choosing to ignore or get it dealt with.

I know this perhaps the wrong thread but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
On my way home from the annual family Christmas getogether / argument the hillstart assist on my van kicked in at a set of traffic lights half way up a steepish hill. When I set off again the brakes didn't release and I had to crawl up the hill to the top with my brakes on. At the top of the hill I switched off, took the keys out of the ignition, locked the van and waited 5 minutes so that all of the electrics could reset. The fault had cleared however at no point was there any kind of warning light and when I checked with my plug in computer thingy when I got home there was no fault code locked. Van is still in warranty and this hasn't happened before so question is do I cross my fingers and hope this doesn't happen again or put myself and my van in the hands of the ford commercial vehicles customer service (which is renowned for being a bit shit) and lose my van for a couple of weeks?
