Anyone received a recall notice after part already repaired?

Hi everyone

My wife’s car recently needed some repairs to the a/c system (the condenser was leaking). Very shortly afterwards we got a recall notice in the post to replace the exact same part.

Has anybody else experienced this, and if so what happened (e.g. did you get refunded the cost of the repair/replacement)? Not sure what to expect here and want to check if anyone is aware o any consumer law that covers this particular situation.

Thanks
