21 Yukon bad wheel bearing with only 30000 miles

[Smacdonald82]

Hi! I have a 21 Yukon XL. I noticed some clicking type noises in my front end when I would cut the wheel hard to the right or left. I took it to the dealership today and the left front wheel bearing is bad already. My Yukon has 30128 miles on it. Has anyone else had theirs go bad this early in the newer body styles? Now I’m worried that the other will go also and I only have 6000 miles left on my warranty! Just curious if this has been an issue for anyone else! Thanks!

Wow, that's quite premature. I hope it's just a glitch.

On a sarcastic note: what DOESN'T go wrong with the 2021 and newer models????

Yours is the first we've heard about with the new body style. Haven't even heard of the new pickups having hub replacements yet.

Generally, Wheel Bearings are not an expensive repair....retail on the OE part is $216, would think its probably no more than an hour labor to swap it...so...you are sub $500 probably.

But, I would say losing one at 30k is a bit odd, probably a one off.

It's the first I've heard of it. I will say it's was super common on all the old generations to have wheel bearing issues within warranty period. Either the bearing would fail or the abs sensor within it.
