In Control glitch ?

Had a genuine looking email from JLR at 06:20am informing me that my In Control subscription has expired. I thought this unusual being as they normally send half a dozen renewal reminders leading up to the finish date. As it turns out, I’m paid up until the end of July, so the email is completely in...
