"Alarm has been activated" text?

I subscribe to M-Brace.

A few days ago I went to the post office. As I got there a friend called, so I sat in my car and took the call, using bluetooth. Near the end of the call, I received a text advising me my alarm system had been activated. It had not been triggered, and certainly, with me in the car, I would have noticed.

Anyone ever have that happen to them- receipt of a text indicating that the car's alarm has been activated when you know for a fact the alarm was not activated?

I spoke to Mbrace- I was told their system shows that the car sent an alarm activation signal. No alarm went off- I was sitting in the car

Have dealer check to see if your VIN is included in Service Campaign 2013090008. BTW, service campaigns will not show @ MBUSA online recall check and repair is free even out of warranty.
