Brake fluid flush covered under service agreement?

For a 2006 'S', can anyone confirm that the recommended brake fluid flush interval is two years, and that it's included in the "free" maintenance period? I'm a few hundred miles from reaching the end of my extended maintenance agreement (50k miles), and the car is a little over two years old, so I should qualify, right?

I'm glad I happened to be browsing through the Owner's Lounge earlier today and saw the two-year interval. For some reason, I had it in my mind that the interval was three years.

On my '05, it was included in the free maintenance. Took my car in for an oil change and the SA noticed I was past 2 years and he said they would take care of it.

Thanks - I've made an appointment for a brake flush on Friday. Now I just need to make sure I put less than 300 miles on the car between now and then.

I had to ask for the flush but it was taken care of.
At the same time I saw the coolant was brown so I asked that be flushed as well and they did that also.
