Re:
Are they sure and have they absolutely determined that it was faulty wheel bearing? Seems a bit strange for the wheel bearing/s to go bust so early.

Re:
If the new wheel bearing was hit into place unevenly, defective or left dry with no grease, then yes a bearing might not last as long as it should.
5 weeks is a little too short of a life for a bearing though.
The hub could be a little bent or out of shape for a 2011 to go through 2 bearings in it's short life.
Has it hit the gutter hard or been in an accident?

Re:
I visual inspection usually works, just check that it's round for starters and straight.
If you have a pair of verniers just check the diameter where the bearing sits.
You could be right though as they probably overlooked it the first time and never replaced it at all.

Don't get too confident, it's not built as strong as you might think it is.

Re:
If you have the ESM have a look at FA (Front Axle) from page 68 onwards.
There are different diagrams for all the engine variants even between the Manual and CVT transmissions.
I can't up load diagrams because Runboard doesn't allow PDF's to be uploaded.
Edit, page number.

Re: Wheel Bearings
Apropos to wheel bearings and Dealers:
Although easy to fix, it often seems 'too hard' to Dealers as it it is not a "normal" warranty problem and it is quite hard to determine.
Many years ago I had a Honda Civic which developed a 'whisper' of RHS front bearing at 1000 Km.
It took repeated visits, several "repacking's" and the beginnings of irateness until they acknowledged that the whole RHS assembly needed replacement.
Edit: (Even then, they probably thought they were just placating me until I took the Manager for a drive and he heard the actual problem- which he initially tried to blame on tyre noise until I pointed out the difference).
It only took 6 months of nagging to get a full replacement of the housing + bearings - but that is what it needed to fix the problem.
The bearings (all 3 replacement sets) were probably OK, but the assembly which held them was obviously deficient.
It can happen in the best of houses.
It has not happened in my Nissan x-Trail , but your symptoms reminded me of my early experience with the Honda - which was then completely faithful and reliable for the rest of its life.
Might be applicable, might not.
