The wheel bearing can overheat and fall apart causing the wheel to come off of the vehicle. This can happen with little to no warning. Have this repaired it is very dangerous to operate a vehicle with a bad wheel bearing.
The bearing will usually make noise first then proceed to a vibration. If left long enough the bearing will either sieze or break apart, with the wheel coming off (but that last is an extreme case).
I the worst case the wheel can seize up. Go get it fixed as soon as you can, if it is making a lot of noise and you have had it for a while you might even want to have the car brought in on a flatbed truck to the repair shop

If you hear a noise you suspect is a bad wheel bearing try this. While driving slowly turn the wheel sharply to the left. If the noise goes away your left front wheel bearing is bad. Now, turn sharply to the right. If the noise goes away you right front wheel bearing is bad. The only 100% sure fire way to know for sure is to remove the wheel bearing and inspect it.
Bad right front wheel bearing.
If a wheel bearing is bad you will hear a howling noise while your driving.
The way to tell if you have a bad wheel bearing is when you are driving and go into a hard corner. The wheel that is on the inside of the corner stops making a humming noise. I just replaced my Driver Rear bearing on my 2004 VW Gti
