Fuel Sloshing

I have an MY16.5 and when the tank is half empty I can hear thumping in the back under slow maneuvering, after having a proper listen it appears to be fuel sloshing around. Having had a search it appears this was a problem affecting early cars and was resolved by a TSB (assuming an updated baffle design), I am surprised it still remains 3yrs on. Last time I had this issue on a car was nearly 10yrs ago on a Honda Civic with a fuel tank under the front passenger seats.

Has anyone else experienced this before I take it into the dealer? 2021 L405 Vogue D300

I had the same noise with my sept. 2016 build. Had it in a couple of weeks ago for rectification. All ok now but surprised it's not done at source. It's a foam baffle they install by the way. Agueroooooooooo. 93-20
I swear you will never see anything like this ever again....watch it..drink it in.

Thanks, did you have to argue for it or did they accept straight away? 2021 L405 Vogue D300

No arguments. I'm pretty sure there is a service bulletin on the subject. They kept it over night though. Agueroooooooooo. 93-20

Well known fault. It affects both L405 and L494 on all model years.

I asked a senior manager at LR why they won't do it at the factory and apparently it's because the process is too manual.

It's foam baffles that they fit.
