Brake Fluid replacement- Free?

The service manual says to replace the brake fluid @ 2 years. My MINI is 2 years old, so will this replacement be covered under the maintemnace agreement? The service light indicator still has me 4000 miles away from a Recommended/ Scheduled service. Would the dealership just do the brake fluid replacement, or do I have to wait until the service light to get it free?
I have had one unscheduled oil change at one year (done as a Free low mileage oil change by Roadshow in Memphis), but no other service done.

When I had mine done last year, I just called the dealer up and scheduled it in for a brake flush. I was actually expecting to pay for it but it turned out to be covered under scheduled mantinence.

Get another free oil change while you're at it.

I would like to, but I am now in IL, so I'll be using Mini of St. Louis. I'll have to check if they will honor the free low mileage oil change. If not, I'll drive down to Memphis
