07 Edge rear wheel bearing

Anyone else have the loud road noise at speed? I've read (and heard from my Ford Tech Buddies) that rear wheel bearings are fairly common on these.

My wife's is going in for the Coolant Recall so I'm hoping my Ford Connection will be able to slip in a wheel bearing replacement while it's there.

I have some road noise, but I attributed it to the tires. Probably going to have to buy some fairly soon.
When did you get a coolant recall? I haven't gotten one on my fwd 07.

Actually, I never really "got" one. I just bought the Edge back towards the end of May, and before I bought it, I had my friend run the VIN to see the history. He said it was pretty clean but had an open Recall for coolant corrosion. You may want to research it -

Thanks. I'm taking it in tomorrow for oil change and will ask about it.

The service writer at dealer said my 07 Edge has a recall on the heater core and asked me if I had any heater issues and I said no. Apparently the core has extended warranty of 5 or 6 years and 105k miles. can't remember if he said 5 or 6 yrs.

The rear wheel bearings (hub) are covered under the powertrain warranty. I gotta get in to find out about the heater core thing.
