To answer the question that's easier . what they did is extend the warranty for the front wheel bearing to 5 year 60,000 miles. that's what they did on my 02 i don't know about other years. the best thing is to contact Buick give them your vin number and they can tell you . I received a letter from Buick which told me about the warranty.i think they will reimburse you for repairs you have done but once again contact Buick its not considered a recall. only other recall for a 02 rendezvous was the rear hatch latch. easiest is to call the dealer and the other answer though good information does not help, being the front wheel bearing is not a recall.
Using new bolts, torque the front hub/bearing assembly to 96 ft-lbs.....
just use self taper screws
