Manufacturer has the advantage that they get stats on number of repairs of each sub-system.
Here in cyber space for RX 2nd gen, wheel bearing issues are being reported more often and seem to be happening sooner.

Unreal!!
I just got my car day before from the dealer because my right wheel bearing was shot. Same symptoms. Fixed under powertrain warranty at 65k.
I am really afraid of this happening after the warranty expires coz my trusted Indy mechanic quoted roughly $800 to fix this. ofcourse he is the one who also pointed out that it is likely under warranty and that I should try Lexus first.

Replaced two rear wheel bearings already. One at 126,000 kilometers on Sept 2009 and the other on May 2010 at 140,000.
Will be filing a complaint to Transport Canada for possible safety concern.
Cost was about C$700 each.
Drove a 1998 Sienna for about 190,000 km on worse roads without any wheel bearing issues.
