EXCESSIVE BRAKE DUST...

Does anyone noticed an excessive brake dust residue specifically on the front wheels?Shocked As soon as I clean up my Evoque within maybe 15 to 20 miles of driving there is a lot of brake dust on the front wheels.
I have had this issue before with a Mercedes C-350 and used some sort of code found in a MB forum back then to make the dealer change the pads.
Does any of you guys have a "recall" part number or something like that to make LR change the pads?

Gracias!
Thanks!

500 miles, no big display of dust yet! Now 600 and I still haven't cleaned the wheels! I might take a pic, if you like, to show how clean they are. If that will help.

Ok maybe I'll stop using the brakes all together!
Anyway I'll be going to the dealer tomorrow to complain...
