Can't help with what it may be but as its still under warranty I'd just take it to a Ford dealer and get them to fix it.

No sarcasm intended but why don't you look in the handbook and be sure what light it is? If it is red it could be a number of other things and ones which could cause a smell of burning - the alternator for instance. Good luck, of course!
