Why has this happened? The hub, OEM was replaced about two years ago.

Is it still in the warranty period - it is usually 2 years or 20,000km ….

Faulty parts or faulty fitting.

Not in warranty, more than 2 years and more than 20,00kms.
Nothing wrong with the fitting. It is a Timken hub, so part should be good.
