The dealer should volunteer to check your serial number to see what open TSB's or Recalls there are on your vehicle. This is true no matter where you bought the car or if it's still under warranty. The dealer gets paid from the manufacturer for doing the work, and it helps to build customer good will. It's also used by dealers to distract you from the obscenely high prices they charge for everything else...

If the dealer doesn't check for TSB's/Recalls on their own, ask them to do it.
