Are you sure the dealer actually disassembled everything and packed the bearings? Or, possibly did they just use the zerk fittings to add grease to the bearings? This is a perfect example why it is a very good idea to take things apart to inspect and repack bearings annually, so the brakes can be checked along with making sure all the hardware is in good shape.
