2008 Headlamp Module

My wife bought a new 2008 G5 GT last June and now has about 5,000 miles on it, so warranty is not an issue.
We noticed today that the left front headlamp is all fogged up from water inside. The lower inch has water droplets running down and above that are tiny droplets (like fog) all over inside, even up around the turn signal area.
Will the dealer try to dis-assemble, dry and reseal or just replace the headlamp unit?
Has anyone else experianced this problem on our cars??

Thanks..

Happened in my Cobalt when I first bought it. I brought it in to the dealership and they took care of it. 15k miles later, and the issue is non-existent.

Glad to see it will be taken care of
