Will the dealer cover this at no charge? I do not notice anything else wrong atm (fingers crossed), but does anyone recommend anything else I should have the dealer check out/replace for preventative maintenance?

I'm assuming they don't cover anything tire-related?? I seem to have a slight leak in my rear tire because I have to add air every so often.
The brakes are in interesting question... the 'maintenance plan' covers pad wear, but ONLY when the wear indicator has tripped or any one of the 8 pads or 4 rotors are below minimum. So when you come in and complain about anything with brakes, most lazy SAs will say "sorry, brakes not covered until they are worn down"...the truth is that if there is a new car warranty (ie 4/50) then it actually SHOULD cover 'brake operation and function'. Keep this in mind. If it is a minor squeal once in a while, maybe only when cold, then NBD...but if constant and very loud you should press for repairs.
