Anyone else with wheel bearings wearing out annually?

In 2023, my 2018 Forester rear wheel bearings wore out and had to be replaced. In 2024, I have not had any problems, yet, with the new wheel bearings. We'll see.

Thank you for your response

This is an expensive repair! It's not normal for them to wear out every year. Are you replacing with quality OEM parts? What explanation is your mechanic giving you?
