I am just wondering. I don't know for sure.
I simply cannot imagine this to be a bearing defect since most bearings undergo rigorous tests and some failures happen with as low as 30K miles.
It is possible there is some condition that is accelerating the failure and the only one I can think of is no-load rotation of the bearing or occasional no-load rotation of the bearing. Not sure but just putting it out there.
