Sounds like either a bad strut, broken spring or possibly something has come loose in the front suspension.
It would be a good idea to take the wheel off and inspect your suspension components sooner than later.

Inspect the sway bar links........any looseness will transfer into the car as a rattle or sharp bang.
Same applies if the sway bar mounting bushings are loose although since your car is fairly young I'd be surprised if those rubber bushings were rotted already.

To check, the car must be on ramps or a drive on rack. The front suspension must be a neutral (loaded) condition.
If only one side is lifted the sway bar links will be loaded and even if worn out, no free play will be evident.

Just to chime in here, my 2014 is now making a metal on metal clank from the drivers front when hitting potholes. Going over uneven road or speed bumps doesn't do it.

Is there anything else on these that is known to go bad?
