I think alot of people, me included, were more aware if not actively looking for the reported problems when they received their cars. However, would I / you have been concerned had you not read about the problem on here first? It is a difficult question. All cars drift with the camber, the mini has very direct steering so may drift slightly quicker than on other cars.
My Cooper doesn't pull left and it does drift left or right depending on road camber. A road local to me has a right camber and my car drifts to the right. On 'perfectly' flat ground the car tracks dead straight. I would not have had any concerns at all if I had not read the faults and fixes section of this web-site everyday for a year. I do have a couple of the other reported problems, but these really are niggles that i have not raised with my dealer. The left fix supposedly went onto the production line in build week 9, which was early march, my car was built late march.
MINIGUY when did the left pull 'fix' go onto the production line on all models?

I believe a massive part of the 'problem' is the lack of anything official or even 'unofficial' on this web-site. People on this site work for MINI and have sad nothing about this fault. It does exist, if it didn't BMW / MINI would have released numerous statements about there being no fault.
Why haven't MINI replied to Paul's numerous requests for an official statement on the matter?
Do MINI believe saying something about the problem will cause them more hassle?
Although I thankfully don't have this problem, people like Apial who have put up with the wait deserve better. More information about what is going on. Dealers may be telling the truth about not having enough information or maybe they are not doing their job properly and can't be arsed chasing it up with oxford. I think we will probably never know how wide spread the problem is or was. However, what is even more scary is do BMW / MINI even know how many cars suffer with the fault and what to do to fix them?
