The manner of the spoke breaking tells me why it broke. Unfortunately decreasing the spoke tension shortens the life of the spokes, and if the wheels weren't properly built in the first place (highly likely if they were the OEM wheels) they will fatigue and break at the J-bend.
I have replaced many many spokes on people's wheels, but I can't say for certain that I've replaced any on a front wheel, so I don't know if you're likely to break more on yours. The test will be to "stress relieve" them after replacing the 1 broken spoke: grab a pair of parallel spokes in each hand (that is 4 spokes in a row, 2 on each side) and squeeze your hands equally- don't worry, the rim will not deform, but if any spokes are near failure they will likely do so at this point. Oh, do this with a tire mounted for safety purposes, if a spoke breaks it will shoot out of the rim from the tension.
