Most likely a coincidence, as the brake wear sensors are on front & rear OS only, check that the wiring as not chaffed on the front, or indeed that the pads have worn down.

Rip off! New sensor plug is about a tenner, or, cut the plug off and join the wires together completing the circuit.

Stay clear of that garage they are pulling the wool over your eyes, as above no more than £10.00 for the part if that, and 5 minutes to fit, including removing the front wheel. Or as already mentioned bare the two wires twist together and add a little bit of heat shrink the light will go out, and then all you need to do is a visual test on the pads few times a year. 1
