Brake fluid warranty

Hey guys! I have a 2017 BMW 320i that has 33k on the clock. When I purchased the car new in 2016, I also bought the extended warranty. A new message popped up on my car that has never showed up before: Brake Fluid. It says I need to make an appointment with the service center soon. Will this be covered by my warranty? Or will the be out of my pocket? How much would something like this be?

Thank you!

Warranty? Or Service Maintenance Agreement? Either way what's covered should be in your documentation.
If it's out of pocket make an investment in one of these first, to see if the fluid actually needs changing:

The BMW interval is mileage based, not condition, so it doesn't hurt to make sure the condition warrants it.

Service maintenance agreement. Yeah so I'm going to go to the service center and just inquire about if first just to be safe. Thank you so much for your reply and for sharing the link to that. It's a cool tool to keep on hand

I use mine to test the fluid twice a year, when I'm changing the oil filter and have the hood open anyway. The master cylinder is hidden beneath a plastic panel that comes off easily by twisting a few fasteners.
