Smell of fumes from 4.4 SDV8 when driving slowly

It smells like fumes are coming through the ventilation from the engine compartment when moving slowly after the engine has warmed up. Has anybody else had this problem? Got a solution? Car's only 3 weeks old but am across in France for next few months so away from the dealership. Assistance gratefully received……

Yes. My Oct 2013 SDV8 Autobiography has had this problem since delivery. Various attempts by dealer to resolve have included replacing the FBH exhaust pipe but sadly this has not resolved the underlying problem which persists, albeit intermittently. FFRR user since 1974. RR No. 10 (2021MY P525 delivered Nov 2020)

I noticed this problem on the 3.0 diesel loaner I had when mine was in the shop. It also looked like it had caught fire when stationary on a cold morning as I assume FBH fumes were emitted from under the front bumper somewhere. Quite embarrassing when I parked up in front of my son's nursery one morning belching diesel smoke over all the kids!

Guys, is there any way of viewing the tech bulletins? LTB00556 ? Service actions?
Worried if these odours are dangerous? Fumes from a fuel fired heater entering the cabin? I would have thought a recall would be necessary!!!!
My wife has bad asthma & this won't do it any good!
Would like to arrive at the dealership in France with a bit more information.
Love the car but not expecting these problems for 104K

I cannot but the S/Action i think re-routes or alters the pipe near the drivers door i was told , mine is fine after it was done along with a few other S/Actions Sad , just a few more issues to sort and it will be a fantastic car.

PS my 2014 RRS has similar issues it's a Land Rover after all does not matter if 30K or 110K lmao Twisted Evil Far to many gone...
