Anyone familiar with the Focus/Fiesta DCT will not be surprised by this "issue" that showed up in this kids video (especially those in San Francisco). More likely to happen in the Focus/Fiesta since that is a dry clutch though (and because those vehicle's transmission were tuned to try and emulate a fluid-coupled automatic).Stayed on launch control rpm limiter (2-step) too long.
Also may have been affected by a long burnout.
Nothing serious.

The message is simply a safe-guard in protecting the DCT clutches when they slip too much and get near a threshold that Ford has determined the integrity of the clutches could begin to be compromised if slip (and therefore heat) continues.
There is nothing wrong with the car or the transmission - "Move along"
