Any known issues with MY 16 D2 engines, specifically piston slap or bearings letting go?

I’ve a D2 V40 - have had it from new and it has 47k miles on it now. Always driven sympathetically - warmed up etc. A lot of motorway miles. Yet now and again, when accelerating lightly at around 2k rpm there’s a sudden change in the engine sound - not just speeding up, but a loud, harsh rattling sound from the engine - if you lift off or go full throttle, it settles back to a normal engine noise.

I’m going to have it in to the dealer before the warrenty runs out, to look at it, but wondered if they are known for this?

Thanks
