If could be anything from scheduled regular maintainance to total engine failure. Who knows really without the code.

Last poster was correct. The car needs to be checked out with a computer. Many local auto parts places will do this for free.
Sometimes it can be something as small as a loose gas cap.

I''ve had a Check Engine light twice on two different cars. The first time it was a loose gas cap that reset days after I found the problem.
The second time I needed a new O2 sensor. The car had 16,000 km on it at the time. I was told that some O2 sensors can fail particularily in the spring when a drastic season change occurs.
Either way your "R" must still be under warrantee and should cost you $0 at the dealer.
There could be any number of other problems that only a code can point to.

My R had the CE light come on at 15k miles...it was the camshaft position sensor. No other indication something was wrong except for the light. Good luck!
