It's the same issue this car has had for three prior years.
Yes, and you are putting dealership(s) in a bind if you use that as basis.

TSB is only useful for the technician to use when it applies to specific VIN that it references. Otherwise, Subaru will just view your case as an individual isolated case of "bad idle" and go from there to diagnose it.

You can reference a TSB all you want, but at the end of the day the dealership can't use that TSB to actually write up a work order, nor use it to perform any repair work. They can write it up almost word for word, but the actual TSB itself can't be used because it doesn't apply to your car.
