Wheel bearing pre-mature wear?

So my F34 GT is pushing 50k miles and experienced bad front wheel bearing.
Just wondering if that's normal so does it mean the car might suffer from other problems.
Still under warranty so wanna get the problems all out.

Thanks

It's not the norm, but occasionally may occur. I'm passing 97k with no issues and getting ready to do the first brake job. Still on original rotors and pads.

That's unusual for a wheel bearing to go bad that soon. Are you running spacers?

I'm at 91,000 miles with no issues so far and track time involved in that.

Largely depends on where you drive and habits. Hit a lot of potholes and bad roads will affect this part.
