Yeah the date range suggests it is a scam, or at least a way to harvest data from the unsuspecting.

I assumed as much. I know the foot well module water leak issue is under a recall.

Looks pretty legitimate including the sending email.

Touche. I might have clicked if the year range was narrower.

Also, I believe the FRM recall is just HT/Club for 2nd gen, so yeah that date range is suspect to begin with.

I forgot to add the entire email. Sorry....see below.

They try and hide the sender's email, but when you try unsubscribe it's revealed.
