wheel bearings covered under the 60k powertrain?

Does anyone have evidence that the wheel bearings are covered under the 60k powertrain coverage? Thanks in advance.

if you consider evidence that i just had my passenger side replaced last week under 60k powertrain then you are set. i have an extended warranty but they said it was not needed since i only had 51k. i actually drove over 200 miles since nissan said they could not tow until failure, lucky for me and them that the hub was fine.

Technically, they are not, but Nissan usually replaces them b/c they are well aware that they (the bearings) suck...

My local dealer told me they were. Unfortunately, I had 62,000 miles so they had to fix them undre my extended warranty instead (with a $50 copay)

Your wheel bearings did go bad? (thought it was only a bent wheel)
