I own a 2006 nissan titan with 47000 miles. Partial VIN "1n6ba07a0" while taking it to the local midas shop for an oil change. The mechanic pointed out a leak on left rear axle seal. They quoted me with $350.00 to replace the seal. However they also suggested to have the dealership attempt to replace under a recall/ warranty... The dealership quoted $1900.00 to replace the whole rear axle under the guidance from their technicians and it being over the manufactures warranty and/or no recall. This sounds like a ripoff. Here is a quote I found on the club titan forum site. Http://www.clubtitan.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-32631.html "left rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. Differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure, which was a major safety concern to me. At time of failure at 8000 miles no suspension modifications had been done to vehicle. Also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. Nissan replaced spacer axle (43070-7s200), bearing (40210-7s210), and seal (43252-7s200). As this seemed to be a very common problem with the nissan titan, nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so weould not be faced with the safety issue in the future. *ak"

Had truck in shop for exhaust pipe falling off and it was brought to my attention that both the left and right rear axel seals and bearings are bad and need to be replaced. The axel had been leaking fluid onto my tires and brakes which could have resulted in brake failure or fire. Nissan will not warranty the rear axel repairs. This is the second new nissan factory axel to be installed on this vehicle since purchased new in 2006. It is currently having the rear seals and bearings replaced at my expense. This seems to be a common problem with the nissan titan model and should be recalled.

Both rear axle seals started leaking all over my brakes and inside the wheel well causing poor breaking ability. I called the nissan dealer and they told me this is a common problem with titans and that they no longer recommend replacing just the seals but instead the whole axle. The tech (who told me he had 20 yrs with nissan) said that when they used to just replace the seals people would have to come back 6 months later because the seals would blow again. All of the posts online say that it is a result of an improper venting system that does not allow for the release of negative pressure. If this is such a common problem, and nissan knows that it is, why don't they do a full recall? This is a very dangerous problem that can cause brake failure.
