Ill have to check wih the dealer to and see if they'll warranty the superseded part. I doubt they will though since there is technically nothing wrong with the current part. But it looks like it's only $50 it'd be worth that not to damage the paint worse that it already has been.
Just stopped by my local dealer to discuss this. He said there's no TSB but they do have the updated part and if I bring it in they will "assess it" then put the new part in under warranty "if needed". Seemed at first like he was trying to be cagey, but eventually he admitted his truck has the same problem and he's going to have it fixed, and that recently a woman who had the nozzle stuck in her truck actually called the dealer mechanics out to remove it.
So I suspect they're just not ready to do a full recall, but will fix it if you complain and stay firm. He said it was only in CA this was happening, but apparently not. I'll wait until after the holidays, and have it done with the occupant restraint module recall I just got.
