Default 2006 1500 23,000 miles possible wheel bearing issue

Think I may have an issue with a front wheel bearing. Makes a strange noise when driving very very slow, less than 5 miles per hour. Anybody else had wheel bearing issues with their Ram? Only 23,000 miles. Not good! I'll have to take it in for service and see what they say. Should be covered by warranty as far as I know. Breaks probably are not covered under warranty but looks like the wheel bearings would be.

When I got my truck there was a recall for the front wheel bearings. Something like not enough grease. Took it to the dealer they looked at it for free and my bearings checked out o.k. But they should replace for free if they are defective.

mine were recalled, first like 10k miles they started making like a slight rattle/clank sound at high speeds, then got worse, until when i moved a foot or two doin like 3-6 mph it would sound like i'm running a cat over. drove it very slowly to the dealer and they replaced them for free. no problems since.
