Got mine today.

 

Got our letter today right after the dealership replaced the pump. We took it in for the high pressure fuel pump issue but got a water pump instead.

 

Finally got mine today too. Of course mine was replaced about 3 weeks ago. The letter does say they recommend you park your car outside if you haven't had the recall done yet.

 

I'll staple it to the invoice for the job and keep it with the rest of the files. It never hurt to have too much documentation.

 

I got my letter yesterday.

 

Got my letter yesterday too, of course after a very mild winter we've finally started getting snow here in the north-east and I'd rather not make the 6 hour trek right now. We finally have a dealer opening in VT in March, I wonder if I should just wait...car is parked outside anyway.

 

We got our letter yesterday. The car is scheduled to go in on Thursday morning.

 

finally got the letter in the mail today.... but i already had the recall done last week

 

This is my first post on here. I received a recall letter back in June of 2013. Of course I had to have 3,000 dollars worth of repairs Jan 2013. I even called Mini North America to ask them if they were aware of any issue's with water pump failing thus causing super charger issues as well. They said NO. Shocking., NOT...
I've called them numerous times since June of 2013 and each time I get the check is on it's way. Then I was told they would send out before the end of the year. I just called them today and found out it's going to be another 2 to 3 weeks due to banking issue. I highly doubt it will be sent out in 2 to 3 weeks.
I love my Mini and I take better care of her than I would a child. Seeing how Mini treats it's customers., I highly doubt I can recommend purchasing a mini cooper if the customer service can't be honest with me.

Sorry for rambling.

Not a happy motorer

 

The recall is for the auxiliary water pump, not the main water pump for the engine. The auxiliary pump is the electric pump that keeps the turbocharger cool after the car has run for a while. It was known to occasionally catch fire and burn the car to the ground.

The bad news: Your car isn't covered by the NHTSA safety recall.

The good news: It isn't prone to randomly burning to the ground.

You have a first-gen MINI, not a second-gen one. Because you mention a "supercharger", which is what the first-gen MINI Cooper S models have.
