I've always hated the wording of the document.
I read the following in that, if you're under under 40K you don't get new parts. Cause soon as i read IF and exceeds 40K, i'm already skipping over everything it lists looking for if under 40K.
If your car exceeds 40,000 miles (for automatic
transmissions) or 70,000 miles (for manual transmissions) we will install
updated emissions control system hardware - specifically a new Diesel
Particulate Filter, Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, and Selective Catalytic
Reduction Converter - that is needed to maintain emissions
performance for the full useful life (150,000 miles) of your vehicle.
Apparently its regardless of mileage, you get new parts with Phase2 but if your under 40K expect to have equipment replaced twice on our dime.
If that's true it should read like this, way easier to read.

performance for the full useful life (150,000 miles) of your vehicle. As
part of the Phase 2 modification, we will also install a second NOx
sensor and corresponding software to improve the performance of the
OBD system. The Phase 2 updates are expected to have no further
impact on overall vehicle reliability, durability, fuel economy, engine
sound, performance, or drivability.
.
You will receive a notice when Phase 2 of the emissions modification is
available for your vehicle. You should expect to receive this notice
before June 30, 2019. If your vehicle has accumulated fewer than
40,000 miles (for automatic transmissions) or 70,000 miles (for
manual transmissions) at the time of your Phase 2 update, your car will
need to have the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst replaced a second time,
before it reaches 150,000 miles. We will notify you when it is time to
bring your car in for the second catalyst replacement.
I wonder if those that have been contacted have been originally 2015 sold cars with documents to VW stating they are over 40K, and no NOS (left overs) have been contacted as the chances of them being over 40K is slim to nill.
