Should be warranty work ??
Wheel bearings make a clicking noise before they fail completely.
Don't know much about this car, front wheel drive?? Could be different problem.
What sounds is it making ??
If rear wheel bearing it will leak oil, look under car, see if oil on tire or rim on inside.
Jack up front, spin wheel, if bearing you will hear it. Don't comfuse with brake noise. Bearing can be bad without movement when you try to "shake" wheel.

After only two years, well i guess it could be possible.
Jack up the car and try to waggle the wheel, there should not be any play, also while you are there spin the wheel and see if it spins freely, it is more possible you may have a brake problem, like the brake binding. On a car this new i would have thought any problem like this would be covered by warrenty.

after 2 years you should not have a problem with wheel bearings i would ring a garage or take it in to have it looked at. Just in case its the brake caliper or spring.

the rear wheel bearings in this car are crap. go down a safe low traffic road and swerve the car left and right , the noise should increase when you put pressure on it.

what you do is jack up your car and shake the axle.if it shakes then you found it.
