Well that's interesting. Did he give you any further explanation? Please dig into this with the SA or the tech when you take the car in. I think a lot of us who feel some, but not all, of these noises are related to rocks in the dust shield would love to know more.

Agreed. I had my dealer swap the brake shields last week but there was no mention of bearings in the PuMA.

I would bend the bottom and if that did not solve the issue only then would have them replaced. What is not understood is where the rocks are getting in. Looking at the new protection plates I don't see much of a design difference.
I'd put $$$ that the lip on the rear protection plate is the primary culprit. It goes around the entire rotor and seems to be overkill. My guess is to prevent rocks from getting in between the calipers/pads. Even so, seems if the bottom had a cutout any rock/s would quickly fall out. The front protection plate doesn't have a lip and also doesn't seem to have this issue. Front Protection Plate |

Just went to my dealer today and they said that my car MY17 has already the new parts. So does this only affect MY16? Granted, I hear the soda crunch noise from time to time but it goes away.

I have a MY2017 and have heard the crunch over 20 times since I took delivery in October. I don't believe this ANNOYING DEFECT is limited to MY2016.
I haven't been driving mine much lately but will likely take the information from this thread to the dealer and ask them to replace the shields.

Just an update. Since I had the new shields installed, I have not heard the crunch or screeching sound. So the shields replacement was a success. Hope you all have similar experience.

I had these fitted to my October MY17 the other week & done about 500 miles without the noise; this was after making a point of driving though gravel and down crappy country lanes thank you to the OP for sharing the love on this!
