TSB is simply just that, a Technical Service Bulletin; it provides information to a specific issue and ways to repair or alleviate the issue and unfortunately it doesn't have to provide the fix for free. Recall is another story, the vehicles affected do not need to be still under factory warranty to be recalled and fixed for free.
That said, like others said, I would check with another dealer. Also, you can check NHTSA website and see if there was any pending recall (not TSB) for your car.
