Sounds like classic misuse of air tools. Somebody being paid minimum wage blasted your wheel bolt into the hub with an impact wrench without first threading it in by hand to ensure it wasn't cross-threaded.

It was cross-threaded and went in at high speed/torque, ruining the hub. Take it to the dealer and get the hub fixed, then make the tire shop pay.
