Data Mining

I am totally baffled on this one, I have 2014 CD, purchased used in another state a couple years ago. Soon after purchase, had a CEL, went to the local P-car dealer to have a look (extended diesel warranty). They were worthless , but they also advised me on a couple open campaigns on the car, I declined one (Headlight Sealing Caps). So, every year I get a snail mail recall notice that I ignore.

Well I get a text from my 24yo son, he received an email on his personal Gmail account addressed to me from the local P-Car dealer regarding the recall on the CD.

How/why did they associate me with my sons email? How did they get my sons email? He has never bought a new car, he has never been to car dealer, let alone given them his email. On the snail mail front it has "motorsafety.org" printed on the lower left, did they figure out a way to monetize the recall process?

Any ideas?
