Like the title, has anyone received an order notification from FCA directly? And if so, when about in the order process did you receive it?

I ordered originally in February, and the dealer ended up re-placing a new order in early April (their order was wrong :facepalm:)... Fast forward to today (which is ironically almost exactly 8 weeks since the second order was placed), and I received a notification from FCA with my name & new VON congratulating me on the new order... A copy of the notification is below, but implies that they are just starting the ordering /build process now, after 8 weeks (though technically 13 weeks including the dealers botched first order).

I've emailed FCA & my dealer to ask about the current status, as I can't imagine that they've been sitting on the second order for 8 weeks now, but with the holiday weekend I won't get a response for a few days. Has anyone else received notiifcations like this, and if so, did you receive them just after placing the order, or ???

Nope, I have not received anything like this notice. I have a similar order history - Original order 1/22/2018, corrected order 3/9/2018.

Oops, hold it. I did receive something very similar on 5/18. It was like your, but didn't have the VON information.

Hello Tom,
We have received your order for an all-new 2018 Jeep® Wrangler. We are excited you have chosen the Jeep Brand and want to welcome you to the Jeep Family!

Thanks Everyone,
Makes me feel a little better that others with older orders have started receiving these recently. Maybe it's just a new system Jeep is rolling out, and not that my dealer botched the second order too. :)

Small update,
My dealer just responded this morning with an updated build sheet, with an estimated ship date of 06/08. According to the sheet it's in JS status currently, so despite just receiving this email my JLUR is not just beginning the process. Seems to me like maybe Jeep is setting up more of an order status system, and perhaps it's just going through the current database informing people.

For reference, my re-order was 04/03, E-Mail received 05/25, and verified the Jeep was in JS status on 05/28
