Turbo shield recall?

Just took 2009 clubman s in for oil change and tech said they would replace turbo heat shield under a recall. I never got a notice in the mail, what was the problem?

It's not the turbo heat shield, it is an additional heat shield that goes over the oil line to the bearing on the turbocharger. Heat from the turbocharger cooks the O ring seal on the oil line and causing an oil leak.
