Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have now experienced the failure of the second rear wheel bearing on my 2004 volvo xc-90 awd, with the second failure resulting in the partial separation of the wheel from the vehicle at highway speeds. there is a defect in the design of the wheel bearing, and these bearings should be replaced in the field before ther is a fatality or serious injury. although volvo has replaced both bearings under warranty, a brief internet search indicates this is a very common failure on this model. damage on the second failure resulted in $1800 damage to the vehicle. *jb
