2017 400 with baffled oil pan?

I've reviewed a lot of threads about the baffled oil pan issue and they all seem to say this was only an issue with the GTs - that the 400s did not have baffles. Service records (from a Lotus dealership) for an oil change on a 2017 400 include the note "replaced flaps". Were there 2017 400s that had the baffled oil pan? Are there some other kinds of "flaps" on a 400 oil pan this could be referring to? Thanks.

Only on GTs. Dealer may have noted it down incorrectly or there may be a GT or aftermarket pan installed (assuming you're not the original owner).

Issue appears to be resolved (favorably!)! A bit of confusion - the current owner (not me - yet) was actually going off notes he made about what's done at the six year service (that had been done just before he acquired the car) that turned out to be for GTs. All's good! Thanks guys!
