Narrative:
Vectored onto ILS runway 32 pit, cleared for ILS runway 32 pit. At about 3600 ft MSL, approach control told us to turn tightly left to heading of 180 degrees and climb to 4000 ft, which we did. Then vectored for visual to runway 32 pit. On taxi in, controller asked us to call him on phone. He asked us if we were cleared for ILS runway 32, we said yes. He asked us if any traffic was pointed out to us. We said no. I talked again with the controller, he said there were no aircraft errors and that there was a controller error.
