Unless it was a leftover bought during the '07 or later model year, it's probably beyond the four years. My '06's B-B expired in July.
The solution is to pull the plug and just check coolant the old fashioned way: look at the tank every now and then. Lots more convenient than the old-old fashioned way, which was to take the radiator cap off every now and then and look in the top tank.

Just be VERY CAREFUL when removing the hose that goes to the Nipple on the top of the radiator!!! It can snap off the radiator and then you will have to replace the radiator. This happened to my brother on his 05 and I have seen other people post this also... GL
