Brake fluid flush

Bought a new 2018 Cayman. In service date was 10/18. Went in for one year service, 5500 miles, dealer said I needed break flush based on production date, not based on in service date. True or false?

Thanks for the reply. Sept 2017. This is Porsche number 7 for me and I do flushEd after two years. This one sat in inventory for a full year. I know that the fluid deteriorates over time but, if the car sits idle...

Sitting doesn't mater. Brake fluid is hyrdroscopic. It will 'pull' moisture through the seals.

The dealer quoted $400 far more than I paid for a flush two years ago for my 2008 997. Called a reputable Porsche repair shop, advertises in PCA mag quoted much less. Thanks again for your advice.
