Just curious if the rest of you have started to receive these recall emails. Mine arrived today.

I got the notice, but when I punched in my Vin it said no recall on my car. 2011 Countryman S All/4. Not sure whats up. Will wait a bit and see if I get a MINI letter or I'll ask at the dealership next time I'm in for service.
