Are wheel bearings covered under the powertrain warranty?

 

[Kris]

I believe so. Mine was repaired under warranty. At that time Mo has almost 60k miles.

Yes, the wheel bearings are covered under the Powertrain Coverage provision of the New-car warranty.

The following excerpt is from the "FOR HOW LONG AND WHAT IS COVERED" section of the 2005 Murano warranty. It was listed under the Powertrain heading.

I don't doubt it, but I don't see anything in that excerpt that specifically includes WHEEL bearings.

It says Bearings are included, So they are.

The word "bearing" is good enough for me, and obviously it was good enough for the Service Writer who took care of Kris' car at 60,000 miles.

The warranty guide lists "bearings" under the DRIVETRAIN heading. What other bearings could they possibly be referring to? The final drive housing and the propeller (drive) shaft are listed separately. The only bearings in the drivetrain (aft of the transaxle) not previously mentioned are the wheel bearings.

wheel bearings are definitely cover under power train warranty.

Are you having a problem with a wheel bearing?

 

[ekaxel]

Not sure. I have a lot of "rolling" noise. Could be a slightly feathered tire due to an alignment issue or a bearing. I have to go through all the steps to make sure.
