I would try cleaning the panel in the middle of the grill first. It may just be dirty

Is it an intermittent or a permanent error? There are numerous possible causes.

 

As above. The 'sensor' in question is a low power radar located behind the front grille centre plastic panel and can be affected by dirt or liquid, though this should only be temporary.

It could be the radar has gone out of calibration, either through collision, grounding or, probably more likely, striking a bad pothole. This is will be a persistent error and will require specialised recalibration.

It could be a module has failed or is in the process of failing in which case the module will need replacing. This may be either an intermittent or permanent error.

It could be a related component fault, such as TCS, though I would expect you to see a additional warnings too.

It could be a software glitch that requires a reinstall or update.

 

In any event, other than checking that the panel is clean and dry, this is something you would be ill advised to attempt to fix yourself and you can't simply buy a new radar unit and expect it to work.

If you have access to VCDS or OBD II or similar you should be able to check for error codes. If the fault persists then it's a visit to the workshop.
