Guys a TSB isn't a recall, if it was you would have no problem getting it repaired under warranty. That recall came out in 2004 I'm sure they would have checked your car when it was back at the dealer for regular maintenance.
Since the clutch is a consumable item it's going to be hard to get the dealer to replace a clutch that's slipping without a mechanical defect and then they still might not do it if the clutch has obvious signs of abuse. The TSB title also states âPREMATURE CLUTCH WEARâ 50k isnât premature 5K or less would be but since it doesnât state the actual expected mileage a clutch should last you would have to check what your warranty says about expected clutch life or warranty coverage.
Still take a shot at it, I did it with my Tib the first dealer told me it was my fault that the noise was there, the 2nd diagnosed it as a faulty DM flywheel and replaced my flywheel, clutch and rebuilt my transmission all under warranty.

I have a few cars.
One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?
