Depends entirely on the dealer.
Mine had about 1/2" of water from the rains a month ago. After over 4 weeks, it still has water inside (condensation only).
You can clearly see a line where the water dried. The dealer (South Coast Subaru) is replacing the housing for me and I have a loaner to drive until then.
In the end, TSBs are only guidelines on how to do warranty work. If a dealer wants to perform warranty work and is highly confident to get it approved by Subaru, they'll ignore a TSB.
Only the service writers truly green would follow a TSB to a T.
