Yours is almost certainly included in the recall. I haven't gotten any notification from MINI yet either. I'd heard somewhere along the way that, due to the number of vehicles affected, MINI was planning to stagger the release of the notifications so they weren't inundated by repair requests all at the same time.
Best way for you to check would be to stop by your local MINI dealer and have them cross-check against the VIN to see if there are any open actions against your vehicle (that's their fancy way of saying whether there are any mandatory services required).

I also got the notice this week. I too live quite a drive from my nearest dealer; 1.5 hours. Called today to try and schedule an appt. and I was told they do not perform this work on Saturdays and therefore I will need to take time off work to get it repaired. Good news is; they said it would only take ~1.5 hours to repair.

I went in yesterday for unrelated reason: Steering response to the sport button was lost and CEL "increase battery discharge". The service rep said, "are you here because of the recall? Your key fob confirms you need the water pump replaced." So I said, no, but go ahead and do the work. However...
After checking with Gen Manager, he decided the water pump did not need being replaced? I am going to ask why he changed his mind, but I don't have a letter yet from MINI for the recall?

Just make sure your talking about the right water pump. The recall is for the Aux Water pump that cools the turbo after engine shut down. The car has another normal water pump to circulate water and cool off the engine during normal driving. All you should have to say it do the recall. They know what you're talking about. Good luck!

Just took the MINI in for the aux H20 pump recall. They also did the timing chain tensioner seal "service action" - said ours was the first - it just popped up. I was surprised as I always read it was older models.
Very happy with NW MINI Tacoma service today - they also did the 2 year service 900 miles ahead of time, brake fluid change, air filter, micro filter, oil change etc. Replaced a non op chrome boot latch even though it was added after purchase. Had a 2011 S loaner for the day to boot...... They couldn't wait to pull the car into service at 8:15 AM..... Service advisor had the paperwork in hand as we walked in the door to pick up at 5:00 PM.... Oh and sat in a sweet Roadster while I waited for our MINI to be pulled around.
Total cost. Zero dollars. *PRICELESS*.
